"When the University of California at Irvine campus was first built, they just put the buildings in. They did not put in any sidewalks; they just planted grass. The next year, they came back and built the sidewalks where the trails were in the grass."

Stephen Fry starts out talking about star trek, ends up talking about life, the universe, and everything. Literally and figuratively. On the way he meanders past ADHD, depression, desire, reason, and comedy. Enjoyable enjoyment for you to enjoy.

Igby: To where?
D.H.: Success.
Oliver: Our father would be a 'slippery when schizophrenic' sign, for instance...
Oliver: ... along the highway of life.
