“I may not always be taken seriously. I often come off as rather humorous: not serious, not academic enough. But that is simply not my style. I regret that I often get comments about that. That people think I have no sense of reality. But people don't know me. Sometimes I find it really disturbing, the criticism I've been getting since I was young. I'm 55 now: if I had really done something wrong, it would have been known by now.”
