Great men lose somewhat of their greatness by being near us; ordinary men gain much.
What I love about how my career has gone up to this point is that I've always, always put my head down on my pillow at night, and I've been able to say that I've done, honestly, what I've felt like I wanted to do. And that's really all you can hope for in everything you do.
Some of my academic friends think I've fallen from a very special grace.
