I am a person who deals with practical issues. I am not interested in publicity, PR or trying to bring attention to myself. This is why I don’t give interviews and rarely speak to journalists. Most of the time, my business endeavours speak for me and they are the best reflection of my character, my abilities and, if you will, my values.
