“I would describe myself as a tallish, shy, middle-aged man who equally loves his work and his freedom. And a good liar!”

“Work was always necessary to survive. Then I decided the goal should be to survive without working. But now I have much more work than I had before. Hunting for freedom, I've found the real prison. but at least it's a prison I've chosen for myself.”

“From my point of view, humour and irony include tragedy; they're two sides of the same coin.”

“We had many books and pictures... my parents' way of life doubtless left a lasting impression on me. They created an atmosphere in which a certain kind of freedom could exist. This may well account for my seeking a related sense of liberty as I grew up.”

“I think one of the greatest gifts you can give to someone is just access to the possibility of freedom that you don't have to be totally depressed and enslaved by your own environment.”

“Hand in hand with freedom of speech goes the power to be heard, to share in the decisions of government which shape men's lives.”
