Take caution in your tone, commander. I'm a fair man, but this -- heat is making me absolutely crazy.

I love the company of people. I always have and always will, it comes with my family. But earlier in life I might have got a little nervous if I was alone for a day or two in a row. I might think, "Where are they?" Now, I just go on doing naturally what I do.
