I never take anything for granted.

Memory is a tricky thing. It doesn't just recall events, it reshapes them.

I'm rich enough to be able to afford to be honest.

Time erodes all such beauty, but what it cannot diminish… is the wonderful workings of your mind. Your humor, your kindness… and your moral courage.

I'm not a role model, I'm just a man.

There is no despair so absolute as that which comes with the first moments of our first great sorrow, when we have not yet known what it is to have suffered and be healed, to have despaired and have recovered.
