self-entitled

Resounding yes. Here's why: because it rings true for me also. Escape from the backpatting and sycophancy is the main reason I joined this site (well you didn't think it's because Billy's so good looking did you?) I'd hazard a guess that any artist grows weary of the image the audience reflects back to them and craves the attention of people who don't get wrapped up in all that nonsense. And every artist must, at some point, wonder how his audience would feel if they knew what was really going on in his head.
