I think that has to do with my awareness that in a sense we all have a certain measure of responsibility to those who have made it possible for us to take advantage of the opportunities.

This is something that I guess I decided a long time ago.

There's four and twenty million doors On life's endless corridor, So say it loud and sing it proud today.
