I look upon ourselves as partners in all of this, and that each of us contributes and does what he can do best. And so I see not a top rung and a bottom rung - I see all this horizontally - and I see this as part of a matrix.

Hope lies in dreams, in imagination and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.
