In the earlier days when I was a manager, when introducing myself to workers, since some of them knew I was with Mike, I was being ignored.

A lot of people will notice that we are hardly ever together in the backstage environment, mainly because he wants to do his own thing and I want to do my own thing. That helps me establish myself as a worker -- he's his own person, I'm my own person.
