For all my education, accomplishments, and so called 'wisdom'... I can't fathom my own heart.

I have been rich and I have been poor. I know which one I prefer.

I spent my life in the library reading books.

Growing up, there was only classical music on BBC Radio. We had to listen to the American Forces Network in Germany, which played pop songs, or the pirate radio boats off the coast.

I don't have any regrets because I'm very optimistic, and live each day as though it's the last.

The Quiet American is anti the people who took them into the Vietnam War.

I wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.
