• Say, I was on The Craig Kilbourne Show and the next day I flew to Minneapolis. I was at the airport and a guy came up. He said, 'Dude, I saw you on TV last night.' But he did not say whether or not he thought I was good, he just confirmed that I was on television. So I turned my head away from him for about a minute, then I turned it back. I said, 'Dude, I saw you at the airport about a minute ago. And you were good.'

• El trabajo tiene sus grandezas, sí. Está la exultación de llegar sano y salvo después de una tormenta, la alegría de planear desde la oscuridad de la noche o la tempestad hacia un Alicante o un Santiago bañados por el sol; está la hinchada sensación de volver a ocupar el lugar de uno en la vida, en el milagroso jardín de la tierra, donde hay árboles y mujeres y, en el puerto, pequeños bares acogedores. Cuando ha acelerado el motor y está entrando en el aeropuerto, dejando atrás las sombrías masas de nubes, ¿qué piloto no se pone a cantar?

• Soy uno de esos pasajeros que llegan al aeropuerto con cinco o seis horas de antelación para poder tomarse unas copas y armarse de valor para subir al avión. Por lo visto no soy el único, porque nunca he estado en un bar de aeropuerto vacío. No me importa a qué hora llegues. Incluso a las 8 de la mañana tienes que abrirte paso hasta el bar. A esa hora, todo el mundo bebe Bloody Marys para que nadie se dé cuenta de que es alcohol, al menos hasta que se caen de la silla.

La gente en los aeropuertos son los actores más brillantes del mundo, porque su atención está en otra parte, y son idiosincrásicos. Me gusta imitar a la gente. Camino detrás de ellos e imito sus espaldas.

• En la mayoría de los casos, a toda costa, NO facture una maleta. Especialmente durante las vacaciones.

• I spent my time drinking and staring at a television in the airport bar. More death and destruction. Crime. Pollution. All the news stories were telling me to be frightened.
