When did you say that he wanted to be a "nationally famous influential thought leader"? I'll be waiting for the quote.

Okay you hear that people Unless a celebrity openly says "I set out to become famous and influential", you have to accept, in good faith, that they didn't Looking around at what people say, this means that ambition doesn't actually exist
