N. discussing 'Lolita' on CBC, circa 1959.

'Interviewers do not find you a particularly stimulating person. Why is that so?'
V.N. or V.D.: 'I pride myself on being a person with no public appeal. I have never been drunk in my life. I never use schoolboy words of four letters. I have never worked in an office of in a coal mine. I have never belonged to any club or group. No creed or school has had any influence on me whatsoever.'
