If you apply reason and logic to this career of mine, you're not going to get very far. You simply won't.

So I had to be careful. I recognized the responsibility that, whether I liked it or not, I had to accept whatever the obligation was. That was to behave in a manner, to carry myself in such a professional way, as if there ever is a reflection, it's a positive one.

I am the me I choose to be.

I had two roles for which I compromised.

I don't very often read novels.

My autobiography was simply the story of my life.

But I always had the ability to say no. That's how I called my own shots.
