I had never walked on the street alone when I was growing up in Calcutta up to age 20. I had never handled money. You know there was always a couple of bodyguards behind me who took care if I wanted... I needed pencils for school I needed a notebook they were the ones who were taking out the money. I was constantly guarded.
I don't wanna hear nobody complain that they're getting paid all this money and people won't leave them alone. It's part of it.

Credit or debit cards for starters are nothing short of shoppers' Novocain.

The networks just wouldn't spend the money today.
