You don't get anywhere unless you've had a little bit of a complicated life.

To me extremism is targeting endangered whales in a whale sanctuary in violation of a moratorium. That, to me, is extreme.
There's no rest when you're on planetary duty.

There are many who condemn my crew and I for taking the law into our own hands and for taking on the barons of corporate profit.
