Sadly, in this country - maybe this is in the history of the world, really - it's the urban experience versus the bucolic experience. And it is different, but therein lies the slow progression of democracy. We are a melting pot.

I really enjoy what I do, and I'm very grateful to be given an opportunity to do it. That's one thing that people can say about me.
