Recreation

Pretty much anywhere that I don't live currently.

House, trance and techno

Blade Runner, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ran, etc.

The big stuff by Patrick O'Brian, William Gibson, Tolkien, etc.

I loooves my laptop. And my digicam.

Hang out and shoot the breeze with good buddies. Preferably someplace far from home.

Breathtaking views. Often from mountainsides.

Lack of respect for others.

Influences

Believe it or not, my parents. Hard acts to follow!

It's a toss-up between Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela. I'm pretty fond of Bill Clinton and JFK, too.

It's a pair. Captain Jack Aubrey and his trusty surgeon, Dr. Stephen Maturin.

Intelligence, integrity and tolerance.

I'm fairly well-rounded.

The ability to enjoy getting up in the morning.

Intelligence, integrity and tolerance are important. But competence and boldness are crucial.

Aspiration

In one of those stilt-bungalow hotels in Bora Bora. Or possibly sitting in a Senator's chair. Until the staff calls security on me, that is.

Trying to figure out which charities and NGOs to give my millions away to.

To help bring about positive change in my country and the world.

Whereever you go, there you are. Or maybe: "Two times, baby!"
