I tend to eat things in fours. I'll eat four nuts, four grapes, four chips at a time. I don't know why. It's not really a superstition. I don't think anything bad will happen if I don't, but three potato chips doesn't seem right.

It just didn't occur to me, sitting at my computer, that I would end up travelling all over the world.

In general, the best advice I can give people is to take criticism seriously, apologize for anything you have done wrong, and pull back from conflict.
