what does Howard Roark mean when he says "but i dont think of you.""?

Question

fountainhead book

Answer 1

Like everyone else in the world, he divided the universe into "what matters" and "what doesn't matter."

What mattered to him were things he could influence, and which could influence him and what he did. Mettalurgy mattered, geography mattered, physics mattered, his workers and customers mattered. He was, I believe, speaking to a journalist, who only had opinions, but no practical impact on anything real. Roark didn't care about anyone's opinion as to whether the things he built would stay up or not, because their opinions couldn't cause them to come into being, stay up, or fall down.

He valued knowledge and ideas, but opinions are neither. He simply had no use for newspaper people that didn't know the difference between reality and popular belief.

Answer 2

probably because he was a Randian egoist and only thinks about himself
