"There was a moment that that was really flying down the tracks, very quietly, because it's how I operate," he said about being introduced to Princess Diana by Sarah Ferguson. "It was so sweet. Sarah was the one that set this up. Sarah was very cool... when she could have been going, 'Well, I’m a princess too. What about me?' She didn’t do that at all. Diana and I began to talk," he said.
