First things first, STEVEN SEAGAL is a (gasp!) 'human-being. And like all of us, arrogance gets the better of us.
I mean, look at us, we all like the guys movies/his outlook/his music (etc) but how often do YOU read a 'possitive' article on him, in the media.
I reckon a lot of his arrogance, may be a certain wearyness of the press (american, or otherwise)
As for his private life...whatever floats the guys boat, as long as it's not illegal (i'm no saint either, you know!)
Maybe what he says, may come accross as arrogant, to certain people. But when i've seen (admittedly scarce) interviews with him, he comes accross as literate, informative and spiritually minded. But as usual, it's always the 'wrong' people that interview him/critic his movies (and so on)
I'm sure a certain fraction of the media, enjoy his films, but are infused with a built-in sense of snobbery, that prevents them from showing their true feelings.
After all, the press (american, or otherwise) are there to 'BUILD THEM UP....AND KNOCK THEM DOWN'
But just to go over what i've said, i'm not defending the guy for being arrogant (if he is?) i'm glad he shares a 'human' trait, i just think certain people in the media, are not in tune with what SEAGAL is trying to do.
I mean, the same media that attacks SEAGAL and his movies, think WE (i.e, whoever is on this site, and reading this) are 'mindless-blood-lusting-idiots'
Shows how much the media knows, and untill MR SEAGAL starts paying MY rent, i'll leave his private life up to him.
peace
Oh, yeah, in this country we have a music group called OASIS (who i can't stand, by the way, they are a second rate BEATLES rip-off...and i can't stand THE BEATLES...give me THE STONES anyday!!!) and they are fronted by a guy named LIAM GALLAGHER.....Now that guy is a arrogant prick. Imagine if every picture of STEVEN SEAGAL on this site, had him 'flipping the bird'
"see this face...this is a happy face..."
