But I don't really see myself as a role model. I'm not a dictator, or someone who wants to be adored!

Some even claim that I'm a terror, a dictator and they're right.

I'm not a dictator. It's just that I have a grumpy face.

I am the product of living in dictatorships. And someone who's lived in dictatorships and not being allowed to be themselves, it cherishes the ability to be yourself and to have feelings and to speak them when asked. And I am that person.

My wife tells me I am a male chauvinist pig and I have to sort of admit it. In my office and in my home, I'm not very democratic. I think of myself as a benevolent dictator.

Dictators are interesting, no?

I don't have any formula for ousting a dictator or building democracy. All I can suggest is to forget about yourself and just think of your people. It's always the people who make things happen.

If I were dictator, I'd have a catch-all crime of disrespect.
