MB: Who would you say has had the biggest impact on your life and why?

LK: Probably the English teacher at my school. She made me interested in words, you know. Because without that, I would have never… I would have just been another moron down at the filling station, you know. It was a great thing that she did for me. Because she saw I was good at it. And she encouraged me. Which is a rare thing among teaching personnel these days, you know. She’d work alongside me and teach me things. I passed the matriculation level exam, the graduation exam, at the age of thirteen, you know. So I was always good at English. And that’s a great blessing, you know. Reading and writing is a great blessing, because in this country Quote
USA , half the people can’t read or write. It’s unbelievable. Fifty percent of this country is functioning illiterate. I mean, you’ve got no business being illiterate. You are the richest country in the world. How can they do that? They graduate people out of school illiterate.
