He shook his head as he answered. "They don't, I guess. I'm of the opinion that you develop many acquaintances, but in reality, it is your family and a few people whom you have known forever that you remain really close to. I don't have the need to seek intimate relationships, because I have my wife, my family, dear old friends and my faith. If I had any more, I would be spreading myself too thin."
