"[When asked about his freedom from emotional attachment to other people.] The tough thing in life is ultimate freedom, that's when the battle starts. Ultimate freedom is what it's all about, because you've got to be very strong to stand for ultimate freedom. Ultimate freedom is the big challenge, now I've got it, and I can tell you there's not many of us that have got ultimate freedom. I've got some considerable clout as well, all over. That is where the battle, the personal battle starts now. I've managed to handle complete and ultimate utter freedom. It's marvellous but it's dangerous. It would be easy to be corrupted by many things, when you've got ultimate freedom, especially when you've got clout. I could be corrupted."
