I think it's interesting to me to talk to people who don't agree with me all the time.

I've pretty much accepted the fact that you're going to meet ignorant people, and that's okay. You can't control that. You can't change that.

I meet a lot of people.

I think people have come to know me, and I don't deviate too much as an individual. What you see is what you get.

I have met almost everyone I've wanted to meet.

I meet with people all day long.

I don't think you should meet the people you most admire. I don't want reality to interfere with my image.

People who don't know me have opinions about me. That's the part that's very hurtful. Because how do you form an opinion about somebody if you've never met them or spent any time with them? So it's all based upon hearsay or things that they've read.

I don't know what people who I've never met think about me. Some have written horrible things, some have written nice things - but I'm proud of the fact I've remained close to everyone I've ever worked with.

I have tried to maintain civil relationships with everyone I meet - and, even if I violently disagree with them, try to be respectful.
