I beg young people to travel. If you don't have a passport, get one. Take a summer, get a backpack and go to Delhi, go to Saigon, go to Bangkok, go to Kenya. Have your mind blown. Eat interesting food. Dig some interesting people. Have an adventure. Be careful. Come back and you're going to see your country differently, you're going to see your president differently, no matter who it is. Music, culture, food, water. Your showers will become shorter. You're going to get a sense of what globalization looks like.

Pizza makes me think that anything is possible.

An appreciation of animals is good for a human, it can lead to a better understanding and respect for all living things.

You need a little bit of insanity to do great things.

August, the summer's last messenger of misery, is a hollow actor.
