“The first space walk, it's really got your attention. You know you're travelling eight times faster than a rifle bullet, and you're outside.

And, furthermore, that some people have a sex life and others donâ€™t just because some are more attractive than others. I wanted to acknowledge that if people donâ€™t have a sex life, itâ€™s not for some moral reason, itâ€™s just because theyâ€™re ugly. Once youâ€™ve said it, it sounds obvious, but I wanted to say it.”
