For me, I was somebody who was a smart young guy who didn't do very well in school. The basic system of education, I didn't fit in; my intelligence was elsewhere.

Intelligence is the ability to avoid doing work, yet getting the work done.

I believe I am more intelligent than the average person.

My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

Smartness runs in my family. When I went to school I was so smart my teacher was in my class for five years.

I don't have to be smarter than anybody else. I've just plain worked harder and longer than anybody else.

I'm intelligent enough to survive happily and be compassionate. If I were too smart, I would realize all the ills of the world.

I am not sure that I am that smart. I think we work harder. When I was at university, there were a lot of smarter people than me, and they seem not to have done quite so well.

I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.
