Look at me now. And look at them, he said.
Speaking on how he dragged them along, he said,
If you were creative, I folded you into my artwork. If you were in my artwork, I would give you a job. I gave you a job, I mastered your life. I gave you a house, food, and everything you need. I protected and provided for you. I did what men are supposed to do.
