“My problem is not to reinforce or destroy any ideas…” quote by El-P — Download Open image

“My problem is not to reinforce or destroy any ideas anyone might have about me, how I do what I do, what my intentions are, the way that I do it. My only job as far as I can see is to do the music that I want to do. All those other things are completely out of my control.”
