Toute ma vie j'ai eu de la chance, beaucoup de chance, peut-être même trop de chance quand je pense à tous ceux qui n'ont d'autre choix que d'affronter la grisaille d'un quotidien désespérant et, souvent, douloureux. Ce n'est pas que les épreuves m'ont été épargnées. J'ai eu mon lot d'échecs professionnels et personnels. J'ai même l'impression d'avoir parfois dû payer un prix élevé au succès, et à la notoriété. Mais jamais, au grand jamais, je n'ai connu l'ennui.
