Q: “You strike me as being a happy man, are you?”

A: “Well, I don't know about happy, but I feel good. That happiness, well, I don't know, that's a heavy word, you know, with so much suffering in the world and I am quite cognizant of what's happening around me, but I feel very good. In fact, I've been very fortunate to have been around people that feel good, so definitely you can look at my face and smile.”
