Quote

I only surround myself with people who are intellectually stimulating.

I'm an intellectual.

I try to understand people who aren't as smart as me and not be hateful.

I've never professed to be an intellectual. I don't try to be.

Mostly, I'm in the very enviable position that no one dictates what I do.

Being an intellectual creates a lot of questions and no answers.

To me, being an intellectual doesn't mean knowing about intellectual issues; it means taking pleasure in them.

I understand people have preconceived notions of who I am or what I do.

I do have a peripatetic and active intellectual curiosity.
