Some from punters but most from friends, acquaintances, supporters, vague contacts who showed true character.

It has always amazed me how much people care about the opinion of strangers. I don't care at all, whether they are foolishly worshipping me as a pop star or despising me as a Vile Pervert, but I do care about those I know, like and love. Their opinion counts. They know the person. Forget those who buy into the image!
