"It's always a little sad to lose some stupid. I love people doing stupid  things that I'd never do—different stupid things than all the stupid  things I do. It reminds me that although all over the world we humans  have so much in common, so much love, and need, and desire, and  compassion and loneliness, some of us still want to do things that the  rest of us think are bug-nutty. Some of us want to drive a Hummer, some  of us want to eat sheep's heart, liver and lungs simmered in an animal's  stomach for three hours, some us want to play poker with professionals  and some of us want a Broadway musical based on the music of ABBA. I  love people doing things I can't understand. It's heartbreaking to me  when people stop doing things that I can't see any reason for them to be  doing in the first place. I like people watching curling while eating  pork rinds."
