Everything was buried. All the people are gone.

Our village is gone; everything was buried in mud. All the people are gone.

Our village is now wiped out. By God's grace I'm still alive.

The people can have anything they want, the only problem is they do not want anything.

These are decent people. We're in a situation with Cedric that's tough because of a lot of factors. I think the expectation was that this one would go smoother than the facts have allowed it to go. But we've maintained a professional approach and respect, and that's been important.

In a sense, what you do is like a referee: Half the people are going to like it, half are going to hate it. Humility, to me, is the key to not letting it get to you. Every day you evaluate, stay humble, pliable, flexible and still have strong convictions. I'm not looking for someone's approval. My focus is my client.
