Personal Quote:

I think it's better to live simply and I've never been interested in any kind of ostentation. Except for one period of six weeks, I've never had a publicity agent. If an opportunity like this comes to say what's on my mind or in my heart and I find a receptive, sympathetic person to talk to, then I do it. See more »
