Ich hasse die amerikanische Einfachheit. Ich rühme mich im Zusammenwachsen von Komplikationen jeder Art. Wenn ich den Namen James anders oder ausgefeilter aussprechen könnte, wäre ich dafür, dies zu tun.

As a child, I had to get up early for school or work. I'd get ready by myself. I'd set my alarm to wake me up very early in the morning, and be off to work, the family driver driving me every morning. I did it alone, my parents never coming in to wake me up.
