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.

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.

One of the things that I have admired about India is the spiritualism of the people.

The Raiders of old were vicious and crazy and cruel. Hanging around their locker room was like hanging around the weight room at Folsom Prison.

Paris is always a good idea.

I eat steak primarily. That’s pretty much what my diet consists of. Sometimes I supplement that with other steaks.

Anywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.

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.

I would like to go back to Wales. I’m obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

Not all those who wander are lost.

Rebellion is what you make of it. When you’ve been on a tour bus for two months straight, and then you get in your car and drive wherever you want, that can feel rebellious.

Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.

I’ve been waiting over 40 years to come to Cyprus, and it has not disappointed – the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Crossroads of Civilization, and, I might add, a genuine strategic partner to the United States of America.

It’s useful to go out of this world and see it from the perspective of another one.

Sometimes the greatest meals on vacations are the ones you find when Plan A falls through.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

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.

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.

I’m a wandering gypsy.

Today, we have private airline companies, but if you take a look at a Boeing plane next time you travel, you’ll see that you are basically taking a ride on a modified bomber.

I’ve been to Disneyland, like, 10 times. I’m getting really tired of Disneyland.

To other countries, I may go as a tourist, but to India, I come as a pilgrim.

Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors – that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.

Southeast Asia has a real grip on me. From the very first time I went there, it was a fulfillment of my childhood fantasies of the way travel should be.

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!

When I prepare, I am not messing around. I find the right places, the right people, and the right environment. Iceland is one of those places.

It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.

The Indians on board said that thence to Cuba was a voyage in their canoes of a day and a half; these being small dug-outs without a sail. Such are their canoes. I departed thence for Cuba, for by the signs the Indians made of its greatness, and of its gold and pearls, I thought that it must be Cipango.

Even if we give parents all the information they need and we improve school meals and build brand new supermarkets on every corner, none of that matters if when families step into a restaurant, they can’t make a healthy choice.

Being on tour is like being in limbo. It’s like going from nowhere to nowhere.

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’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we’re not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.

To walk through the ruined cities of Germany is to feel an actual doubt about the continuity of civilization.

I think Weetabix and full-fat milk is what it is all about.

My kids are normal. If they could eat burgers and fries and ice cream every day, they would. And so would I. But that doesn’t sustain us.

When I’m doing a book tour in the States, I’ll wake up in the room sometimes in an anonymous chain hotel, and I don’t know where I am right away. I’ll go to the window, and it doesn’t help there either, especially if you’re in an anonymous strip and it’s the usual Victoria’s Secret, Gap, Chili’s, Applebee’s.

You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

I’m a Bangalore boy.

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

I am very strict about what I eat. I do not consume anything that my body does not require. It takes a lot of sacrifice and discipline. It wasn’t easy before but now its second nature for me.

I’ll stay in Memphis.

I love Africa, and Ulusaba, our home in South Africa, is pretty special. It’s on a rocky hill overlooking the bush, and from your room, you can see lions stalking zebras by the waterhole.

I read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

Sevier County is a great area.

In Paris, you’re as far as possible from the land of pleasant smiles.

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.

Until 1914 I loved to travel; I often went to Italy and once spent a few months in India. Since then I have almost entirely abandoned travelling, and I have not been outside of Switzerland for over ten years.

Where ever I am I always find myself looking out the window wishing I was somewhere else.

In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.

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 have been on the road and visited numerous places and met people from all over the globe. I can say that it looks nearly the same everywhere I have been: The climate crisis is ignored by people in charge, despite the science being crystal clear.

I’ve been to Uganda and to North Korea and to Eritrea, countless horror spots around the world.

I’ve been everywhere in the world, seen everything, had everything a man can have.

When you’re traveling constantly, every day you become inspired, and it shows in my work, sonically, lyrically, visually. Conversations with women with different accents and stories told in those accents. I like to create characters based on different people I’ve met, and relationships. I like to tell stories loosely based on real-life events.

All I really had was a suitcase and my drums. So I took them up to Seattle and hoped it would work.

We’re introducing separate rooms with double beds in all of our planes so people can actually go with their partner and have a proper night’s sleep.

If you’re embarking around the world in a hot-air balloon, don’t forget the toilet paper.

At the age of 6, a teacher full of ambitions, who taught in the small public school of Biran, convinced my family that I should travel to Santiago de Cuba to accompany my older sister who would enter a highly prestigious convent school. Including me was a skill of that very teacher from the little school in Biran.

Africa is probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been.

To travel is to discover that everyone is wrong about other countries.

In America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful.
