I grew up with the concept of freedom of speech. So I’m too old, it’s too late for me to adjust to the new world, the new world order.

I was going to do a book about the first prearranged Karpov-Kasparov match, ’84-’85. But the God-damn Jews have stolen my entire file on that.

Well, I kind of split my life into two pieces. One was where my chess career lies. There, I kept my sanity, so to speak, and my logic. And the other was my religious life. I tried to apply what I learned in the church to my chess career too. But I still was studying chess. I wasn’t just “trusting in God” to give me the moves.

I usually never stay at the board after a game. Especially against Spassky. I made a dumb suggestion and he refuted it instantly! I know I’m going to have to play him some day and it was really stupid to look like such a jerk in front of him.

America is totally under control of the Jews, you know. I mean, look what they’re doing in Yugoslavia…

Well, I’m not sure I know what you mean by a prima donna, but if something doesn’t interest me or if someone bores me, or if I think they’re a phony, I just don’t bother with them, that’s all.

I would rather be free in my mind, and be locked up in a prison cell, than to be a coward and not be able to say what I want.

They were sort of priding themselves. They would say, ‘He beat us at chess, but he’s still just an uncouth kid.’ So I decided to dress up.
