I'm like the general public. I didn't put it together [about the razing] until recently. A little bit, I was in denial.

Eastern Europe has been really trendy. Prague is the best-preserved city in the region ... and the best beer in Europe lands on your table there for 50 cents.

Self-consciousness kills communication.

It's important to go with the flow. If you go to a restaurant in Spain at 7 p.m., that's bad news. The staff is eating then.

Be fanatically positive and militantly optimistic. If something is not to your liking, change your liking.

The notion of getting the general public into low-Earth orbit I don't think is far-fetched at all.
