The best way to keep a secret is to never have one.

Not necessarily your mother, or indeed mine, but, as it were, the ideal mother, somebody who doesn't care about your achievements. Unfortunately, most people are not our mothers. Most people make a strict correlation between how much time, and if you like, love -- not romantic love, though that may be something -- but love in general, respect --they are willing to accord us, that will be strictly defined by our position in the social hierarchy.

"I'm interested in the human condition and what makes people tick."

The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.
