Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit.

As a kid, so many films made me want to travel... the New York of 'Ghostbusters', the Shanghai that 'Indiana Jones' swung a few punches in. However, if I had to name one film that inspires travel, it would have to be 'E.T.' - especially if I could do it by flying BMX as he did...!

I was saying yes because when you're in love, the world is full of possibilities, and when you're in love, you want to take every single one of them.
