Back in Oakland, we have a lot of food in the locker room, but on the road, it’s mostly just fruit. So we have to prepare differently. But really, once you get to the gym, everything on the road is pretty much the same.

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.

Touring is hard on the body.

I was born in Europe… and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can tell you that there is no place, no country, that is more compassionate, more generous, more accepting, and more welcoming than the United States of America.

However, because Britain is young and exciting, I did show my second line here once or twice.

When all the routines and details and the human bores get on our nerves, we just yearn to go away from here to somewhere else. To go fishing is a sound, a valid, and an accepted reason for an escape. It requires no explanation.

Your true traveller finds boredom rather agreeable than painful. It is the symbol of his liberty – his excessive freedom. He accepts his boredom, when it comes, not merely philosophically, but almost with pleasure.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

I’ll stay in Memphis.

I’m touring the world, not doing nothing against the law, getting money to feed my family. I got employees that have felonies, and they can’t get jobs. They work for me.

I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don’t want people to think that ‚Let’s Move‘ is about complete, utter deprivation. It’s about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.

Italy, and the spring and first love all together should suffice to make the gloomiest person happy.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!

The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, ‚I’m not interested,‘ or you’re unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don’t understand that, and I think it’s rude. You’re at Grandma’s house, you eat what Grandma serves you.

Every three months, I’ll say, ‚Honey, I think I should learn how to cook‘.

And let’s be clear: It’s not enough just to limit ads for foods that aren’t healthy. It’s also going to be critical to increase marketing for foods that are healthy.

Every time I come to Europe, I’m just as excited as I was my very first time, which was many, many years ago. I love that part of the world, and I especially love the fans.

Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.

I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now.

Paris ain’t much of a town.

I’ve always been a bit of a gypsy.

Modern travelling is not travelling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.

You’d have a hard time finding anything better than Barcelona for food, as far as being a hub. Given a choice between Barcelona and San Sebastian to die in, I’d probably want to die in San Sebastian.

Economy forced me to become a vegetarian, but I finally starting liking it.

The penalty for getting mugged in an American city and losing your ID is that you can’t fly home.

There have been times that I’ve wept as I’ve gone from city to city and I’ve seen how far people have wandered from God.

People want to go out and travel around and meet cool people. I could just go live in Vermont, but is that what I really want?

When I was 25 and I was told to eat 6 pieces of potato every day, someday it would be 8, someday it would be 10. Not that it’s going to make a big difference. But now when I am told by my nutritionist that you get to eat 6 pieces a day, it’s 6. Done!

No one ever told me I should eat egg whites or drink a gallon of water each day.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

I have to be on such a strict diet constantly.

I’m really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I’m out; I’m asleep for takeoff.

I try to not eat as much sugar, but it’s so hard in our American diet to do that… It’s hard to completely avoid.

Not all those who wander are lost.

I got to Africa. I got the opportunity to go and learn, not about any animal, but chimpanzees. I was living in my dream world, the forest in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. It was Tanganyika when I began.

A lot of people can’t stand touring but to me it’s like breathing. I do it because I’m driven to do it.

Obviously, because of my disability, I need assistance. But I have always tried to overcome the limitations of my condition and lead as full a life as possible. I have traveled the world, from the Antarctic to zero gravity.

I would like to see people more aware of where their food comes from. I would like to see small farmers empowered. I feed my daughter almost exclusively organic food.

It’s wonderful to be here in the great state of Chicago.

It is better to travel well than to arrive.

Who bothers to cook TV dinners? I suck them frozen.

If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

I still make sure to go, at least once every year, to a country where things cannot be taken for granted, and where there is either too much law and order or too little.

For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps.

I guess when you turn off the main road, you have to be prepared to see some funny houses.

I doubt anyone else would have travelled as extensively as I have to meet the citizens of the country.

When I went back to England after a year away, the country seemed stuck, dozing in a fairy tale, stifled by the weight of tradition.

The mountains are calling and I must go.

The fact is: It’s true what they say about the United States. It is a land of opportunity. It is too various to get bored with it.

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

And I wound up in New Orleans for all those years and it was a great place, really a catalyst creatively.

That’s one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and focusing on different things, just the time aspect of going back home and seeing them, you don’t have that at all. It was a big sacrifice but, at the end of the day, it was worth it.

No one knows what to say in the loser’s locker room.

To start with, I love New York… It’s a little bit of the whole world… In New York, the whole world comes to you.

Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally. But in some of nature’s forests, the adventurous traveler seems a feeble, unwelcome creature; wild beasts and the weather trying to kill him, the rank, tangled vegetation, armed with spears and stinging needles, barring his way and making life a hard struggle.

I could do one show after another in China for the rest of my life and still die ignorant. There’s a lot of places left to go.

Most home teams have chapels, so when I’m on the road I’ll probably go to their services.

Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there’s music in the air there.

I’m a Bangalore boy.

All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.
