But they wanted the record to come out, and I wanted the record to come out, so we had to work together.

Satire, whilst envy and ill-humor sway The mind of man, must always make her way; Nor to a bosom, with discretion fraught, Is all her malice worth a single thought.

Headstrong is another word for trusting your own heart.
