  • Like I said, when all of that goes away and you just completely lose yourself in the fantasy of it, then that's usually when I walk out of the theatre or turn off the television and just go: "That was brilliant!"

  • History makes the point time and time again No greater mischief can be created than to merge the power of religion with the power of government.

  • I grew up flying over oceans and moving and sailing.
