I always try to be a reliable friend.

I think I'm seen as trustworthy. I'm seen as having determination and persistence, and I'm seen as having a capacity to reach achievable answers to difficult issues.

I'm absolutely delighted if people think of me as a reliable purveyor of quality period stuff.

People trust I know what I'm doing. I have lots of credibility. I've had years of learning. I know and understand my business.

I am a frighteningly thorough person.

I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure.

I'm extremely accurate; that's one of my biggest strengths.

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.
