Any day that I can spend with my wife and kids is a perfect day. Ideally, I would go out for breakfast with my son. The rest of the day would be best if we were at the cottage and all went for a paddle in the canoe... some swimming, some relaxing on the beach... Conveniently the kids would go to bed early and my wife and I would have amazing sex followed by blissful sleep.

I don't hate other people. There is enough hatred in the world without adding to it...
I hate closed mindedness, orthodoxy... one should always be open to new things and change.

I don't want a headstone... I just want my ashes scattered over the lake at my cottage. It's where I am happiest.

I would run away to my cottage. Close enough to visit the city if I want to but isolated enough that I don't have to...

There are many but the most memorable would be the birth of my kids. It's cliche for a reason.

Tough one... there are all sorts of films I'd like them to see. I'd probably show them Godard's Breathless or maybe Weekend. I'd like to underscore that there is more than one way to film a movie, more than one way to tell a story and that some films can be radically political in form and content.[/QUOTE]
