In my life, there have always been people who guided my path, towards the school, towards this company. I didn't know about any of it. I didn't have a plan. It's good fortune and generosity from other people that have given me all I have today.
If I do something that depresses, it's not because I'm depressed, but because political life and history is depressing.
