"I've never looked at myself and said that I need to be a certain way to be
around a certain sort of people," he explains. "I've always wanted to stay
true to myself, and I've managed to do that. People have to accept that. I
collect art, and I drink wine . . . things that I like that I had never been
exposed to. But I never said, 'I'm going to buy art to impress this crowd.'
That's just ridiculous to me. I don't live my life like that, because how
could you be happy with yourself ?”- Jay-z
