Stay green, stay in the woods, and stay safe.
We'll all die out eventually. Humans will be gone. And all I'm saying is, when people worry about polar bears disappearing or whatever, it's like, 'Well that's life, things will come and go, we'll find new species.'
The reason I did the book about holidays is that you're a different person on holiday. You're sleeping somewhere unfamiliar, knocking about with people you've never met and for 10 days you're someone else. You're out of your comfortable zone.
I don't watch much telly, the telly hardly goes on, but the things I do watch are sort of nature programs, and something about the oceans and the amount of weird fish that's in there.
I am into nature and seeing whales. I went whale-watching, and I was really looking forward to that, but when you see it on TV and you see other programs do it, you're seeing close-ups of these massive creatures, and the music that's added gives you a certain feeling.
I'm not a proper traveler. I don't like to be challenged or have too much of a change and prefer a week away just to relax.
The problem I have with all this religion stuff is that I can't relate to it. I think most people got into 'cos it gave them something to do on a Sunday, but since all the shops are now open it isn't required as much.
There is no need for ants to have the ability to fly
Cat food. It stinks a bit, but if you don't put up with the smell, the little kitten will die.
If you haven't got eyes, you shouldn't have wings
I think it's clever how Rome have kept a load of old stuff. There's no overheads, yet people are going over there to see it.
We've invented most of the stuff that we need and now we're just messing about
If you live in a glass house, don't be chucking stuff about.
Well I'm trying to think what I put in... I think I put in 'why?' to see if I'd confuse the computer.
