"I’m the only man I know who can sin. I find everybody else really too innocent. They don’t really know what they’re doing. I find that people who seem to be the most offensive are fantastic innocents. They really couldn’t know what they’re doing because they’d be mortified at the idea of doing something so unbecoming. But I’ve really had enough experience, such a fantastic amount, that I really know what it is to sin. And that would be to cheat on the great accounting system of Universe, trying to take something out and hang on to it.
“I could very easily transgress. I could rest and sleep and make all kinds of money. The opportunities keep coming in all the time. But I have no desire to sin, I assure you. The point is: I know how. There are many things I did in my life that would be sinful if I did them today. I still feel I’m entitled to make experiments, but once I find out–do it again? No. That’s sinful.”
