It's nice to be financially secure. Apart from that, I really don't care too much about money.

I've never been much of a computer guy at least in terms of playing with computers. Actually until I was about 11 I didn't use a computer for preparing for games at all. Now, obviously, the computer is an important tool for me preparing for my games. I analyze when I'm on the computer, either my games or my opponents. But mostly my own.

I am not some sort of freak. I might be very good at chess but I'm just a normal person.

It's easy for me to get along with chess players. Even though we are all very different, we have chess in common.

I really enjoy the experience of playing humans. The psychological game is so much more important.

Maybe if I didn't have the talent in chess I'd find the talent in something else. The only thing I know is that I have talent in chess, and I'm satisfied with that.
