“You need to build a mausoleum in your head with big iron doors so that nobody can get in there except you. You don’t let me in there, you don’t let June in there, you don’t let your manager in there, you don’t let the record company people in there.

The Real Scandal
I don’t remember how I ran into this clip because I don’t follow this host, but it is on point.
