When I was very small I was going to be a doctor. But later, my only real interest was time travel. When I realized that was impossible, I gave up on the world.

[on a singer/songwriter safari to Africa] The thing I liked best was a pair of cheetahs, probably two brothers. They stalked around. They were camping through the bush. They were like two dudes hanging out together. Two guys who were obviously used to operating as a team. They dressed alike and stalked around. A few minutes later they'd killed something and were eating it together. Apparently they do go off and mate with females. But the guys tend to hang out together for life. It made me think of the Rolling Stones really. I was picturing hem as young versions of Ron (Wood) and Keith (Richards). Up to no good in the bush.
