"What's the deal with Brad's new tattoo?

I drew that. We went to Davos. It's not that we were bored at the World Economic Forum, but one night we didn't have anything to do, so I was drawing on his back.

So it's not permanent?

It is. But I was just sketching.

On him?

On him, yeah.

And you thought, "Let's make it a tattoo"?

He just liked it! The picture everybody saw was kind of awkward, but it just lines up beautifully on his back, just enhances the part of the body I like.

So it doesn't mean anything per se.

I mean, it's meaningful in that it's us making angles and shapes out of each other's body, that kind of a thing."
