You just assume because you wouldn't be interested in doing it, that it must be ordinary, boring and mundane. I tell you, the secret life of objects is really exceptionally entertaining when you get down to the nitty gritty."

People judging you all the time, thinking you need to do X and to do Y," he said, missing the irony. "Sometimes, you just need to tell the world to go screw."

Well, most of the time.
And it's not like anything happened over night, with a snap," he said, snapping his fingers. "It's just...doing what feels natural, and letting whatever that means take you there."

Just pick whatever will be easiest to hide me for a few days - slash - something you're comfortable with in an airport, and I'll try to sit quietly 'till we're back home."
