There is nobody at all whom I could stop the conglomerate from attacking if he or she decided to show unequivocal support for my side of the battle between the conglomerate and me.
For example, Taylor Swift and I get on each other's nerves frequently. There have also been times of truce over the past five years. This dynamic has been true of me and many people and many of the organizations who have been involved in what has happened since 2010.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that everybody in the conglomerate decided to adopt my way of thinking about the issues we have disagreed about. There are people whose behavior I could forgive but not forget. Those whose behavior could be attributed to youth and lack of worldliness, or whose behavior I had misinterpreted from automatic defensiveness because of my terrible situation and what happens to me in person every day; would I want to have personal friendships and/or professional relationships with those people?
I don't know. Fame is fame. I don't want people and cameras following me, to be crowded, to be the subject of tabloids, all of that.
Robert Pattinson has always been my favorite of the 4 actors to reject romantically. I have never known why; it makes me laugh, I hope not in a mean way. It might be fun to do that in person. I was about to say "if there weren't a lot of people and cameras around" at the end of that last sentence and then it struck me that I'd be rejecting Edward in front of millions of people, so my thoughts about how much fun that particular situation could be are not conclusive.
I also don't want to date a celebrity or to use most of my free time for celebrity socializing. I have never wanted to write full-time, and the life that I do want is not conducive to living like a celebrity or spending a lot of time doing celebrity-type things.
