If I want a rest, if I want to relax, I go to the sea. I go to a small cay out there-anywhere.

 

Sometimes I'd like to go to the beach; I loved it when I was a student. Of course, if I go there, crowds gather. I only go there in passing, when I'm taking a visitor in a tour of these places.

 

I've never had that fishbowl feeling of being viewed through a microscope, or living in an ivory tower. I've really not felt it.
