Let me tell you quite bluntly that this king business has given me personally nothing but headaches.
My advisers built a wall between myself and my people. I didn't realize what was happening. When I woke up, I had lost my people.
My main mistake was to have made an ancient people advance by forced marches toward independence, health, culture, affluence, comfort.
Shah is a kind of magic word with the Persian people.
