The kind of group mentality that we had lived under since the Second World War is starting to erupt, and the craving for individualism is now much stronger. It's not as taboo anymore, as it was when I was younger.

The idea of narcissism, essentially, is and will be accepted as a virtue.

I have not seen "Batman v Superman," unfortunately. It hasn't been on the plane, as I've been flying a lot.

The world needs change, change needs an activity. It has to be planted by a thought.
