Will Wright - Pilot?

I just read an interview with Will Wright, creator of the games SimCity, The
Sims, and others. The last bit of the article was quite intriguing:

GS: Will, have you ever been in a small plane?
WW: Yes... well, I used to have a pilot's license.

Not quite the answer I would have expected any pilot to give... "used to"
have a pilot's license? Does he mean that he's no longer current? Or perhaps
there was a time when pilot's actually received "licenses", and it has since
expired? Or maybe his certificate was revoked?

Well, to be honest, I've heard similar comments from other "former" pilots.
G. Gordon Liddy likes to blow his horn about being a pilot, but then there
are times that he's discussing the details of flying and I wonder if he's
ever been in a plane before.

Dunno.
