Monaco is not the way it used to be—but I remember it fondly. We used to vacation there when I was growing up—and it was where I had my first writing assignment. It also featured more stunningly beautiful topless women than a sex obsessed teenager should really be exposed to. I did not complain.

I pay a lot of tax, and I feel, one of the reasons I stay and pay why I'm not based in Monaco... I think my country helped me.
