At first, it was hard to sit down and read the things that people were saying. A lot of people would've worked their way up to this position and would've gotten a thick skin over a few years' time. For me, though, all this happened in a few months. ↗

And 10 minutes later, he'd be arrested. ↗

People keep saying, 'Oh, you're getting all these great reviews, that must make you really happy.' I guess it does, but mostly it's just a relief. ↗

I am not saying that Hitler was a choir boy. But I am saying, let him who was innocent in the Second World War cast the first stone. ↗

Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune. ↗
