People say I'm extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
They call me corrupt, frivolous. I am not at all privileged. Maybe the only privileged thing is my face. And corrupt? God! I would not look like this if I am corrupt. Some ugliness would settle down on my system.
Continuous persecution of widows and orphans is a crime. Even the Bible says there is a specific place in hell for those who oppress widows.
When they see me holding fish, they can see that I am comfortable with kings as well as with paupers.
Never dress down for the poor. They won't respect you for it. They want their First Lady to look like a million dollars.
