I never climbed any ladder: I have achieved eminence by sheer gravitation.

I belong to quite a lot of learned societies. We collect firearms and discuss them at dinners and clubs and things.

When I go home to visit, they never treat me like a celebrity. They still treat me like TJ. If I leave dishes in the sink, they'll let me know.
