I have an infinite number of belief systems cos there are an infinite number of things I don't believe in.

I respect your right to believe whatever you want. I don't have to respect your beliefs.

He gave an interview to the wall street journal so it's probably clearer there than trying to separate performance from substance on a YouTube video.

Mind you, my interest in pursuing this thread is likely to wear off before I "get on stage" as it were.

He always seems pretty consistent to me. Either way, his utterances resonate with me.

Here he is in the Wall Street journal it’s 14 years ago but if , as you say, he always seems pretty consistent, it should still be representative of the man
