Yes, among many people around him, I think that's true. I never said "all," did I? That was your inference only.
This is not a fair assessment at all. He was asked how he wants to be remembered, not how he actually sees himself. Its a goal, one I'm sure many artists share.Sotiris wrote:He actually believes he is one of the best composers, and songwriters, and singers of all time.This man is so full of himself, he's become completely delusional!

"It's going to be hard to give me that because so many of [the films are] animated, which [many] don't take seriously, but which is harder to do than anything, almost. And [also], one of the best of the singer-songwriters," he adds, in the most recent episode of The Hollywood Reporter's 'Awards Chatter' podcast. "To be in the highest rank there would be good. That'd make me happy — down in hell, or wherever I'm gonna go!"
