LOL, Tim. I had not seen this particular quote before. Thank you. William keeps us humble and not so morbidly self-important. And he is actually a very beautiful spirit, as human beings go. If we get bent out of shape over a few amusing, "I'm-Paying-Attention-To-You" shots about our scribbling, well -- maybe that's a sign we should be doing some serious soul-searching and reconfiguration of our priorities.

There are starving children in the world.
