It is not necessary for the public to know whether I am joking or whether I am serious, just as it is not necessary for me to know it myself.

I worry about another leg down in the economies causing social disruption because deleveragings can be very painful - it depends on how they're managed.

I don't take drugs: I am drugs.

Every morning when I awake, the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dali.

So little of what could happen does happen.

Whatever happens, my audience mustn't know whether I am spoofing or being serious; and likewise I mustn't know either. I am in a constant interrogation; when does the deep and philosophically valid Dali begin, and where does the looney and preposterous Dali end?

I don't need drugs. I am drugs.
