At this stage in my career, I don't have to take any big risks. You want to take a calculated risk, not one that leads to people saying 'yes, but there was that one time when she made that big mistake. ' It's always a shame when that happens, especially if you've gotten by for decades without anything hugely tragic.
I don't want to know anything about your system of ethics. Strength is the morality of the man who stands out from the rest, and it is mine.
