No, because retiring is stopping. If I wanted to stop, I would have stopped.

When I was younger I was trying to do what I wanted to do, not what the game wanted me to do.

In New York it seems like there’s no Monday or Saturday or Sunday. The town is always moving. The vibe is great.

I don’t like to plan anything.

Knowledge is love and light and vision.

The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.
