There are a few things that have become my pet peeves over time. The politics - lies, deceit, backstabbing, jealousy. I hate the egos in the biz. I don't mean the gimmick egos, but the real egos. I'm talking about the guys whose mouths write checks their asses can't cash.

Egos appear by setting themselves apart from other egos.

The fact is, you get great art only from mutilated egos. Only mutilated egos are obsessive enough. When I entered graduate school in 1968, 1 thought women were going to have all these enormous achievements, that they would redo everything. Then I saw every one of my female friends — these great minds who were going to transform the world — get married, move because their husbands moved and have babies. I screamed at them: What are you doing? Finish your great book! But they all read me the riot act. They said, "Camille, we are not you." They said, "We want life. We want love. We want happiness. We are not happy — like you are — just living off ideas." I am weird.

Usually musicians have egos and personality quirks which makes it difficult to form collaborative efforts (for long periods of time, anyways).

There’s nothing wrong with most men’s egos that the kowtowing of a headwaiter can’t cure.

Cats have no sense of humor, they have terribly inflated egos, and they are very touchy.
