Steak and Shake in Indianapolis is definitely the first stop when we hit that city.

Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.

I love travelling full stop – so while I’ve had some harrowing instances, I never look at them negatively. Memories are made when you’re travelling – not when you’re chained to your desk.

I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She’s sort of become my fairy godmother.

Fashion breaks my heart.

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.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

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

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

As a teenager, I went to Bali a lot, but it’s a long, long way from England. Which is why, when we bought Necker Island, we made it like a mini Bali.

There is much to support the view that it is clothes that wear us, and not we, them; we may make them take the mould of arm or breast, but they mould our hearts, our brains, our tongues to their liking.

Man, the living creature, the creating individual, is always more important than any established style or system.

I remember as a little girl going down to the beet fields in the Dakotas and in Nebraska and Wyoming as migrant workers when I was very, very small, like, I was, like, 5 years old, I believe. And I remember going out there, you know, traveling to these states and living in these little tarpaper shacks that they had in Wyoming.

Comfort and prosperity have never enriched the world as much as adversity has.

To be able to travel the world, especially to places I never thought I’d be… it’s really, you know, still fascinating for me.

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.

I’ll live in Puerto Rico until the day I die.

Look for the woman in the dress. If there is no woman, there is no dress.

People shop for a bathing suit with more care than they do a husband or wife. The rules are the same. Look for something you’ll feel comfortable wearing. Allow for room to grow.

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.

Everything has changed, and nothing has changed more than the world of fashion.

Places I’ve lived since then had to have some kind of uniqueness and character about them. And logically Key West, and then Down Island. So, all of that stuff sort of had it’s roots in New Orleans and went crazy.

Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home.

I really miss having a routine because now I’ve been on the road constantly for several months. I like routines, so it would be nice to get those routines back.

Traveling around the world and preaching for over 70 years did not give much time for reflection.

A lot of people have said I’d have probably done better in my career if I hadn’t looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn’t be blamed because you want to look pretty.

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

The most important thing I can tell you about aging is this: If you really feel that you want to have an off-the-shoulder blouse and some big beads and thong sandals and a dirndl skirt and a magnolia in your hair, do it. Even if you’re wrinkled.

The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

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.

Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.

Fresh sneakers are important on a man. It’s like a new pair of boxers or a new pair of socks.

He who would pass his declining years with honor and comfort, should, when young, consider that he may one day become old, and remember when he is old, that he has once been young.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

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.

I urge everyone to be trendsetters for Azza Suleiman. Let’s make it one fashion which everyone will want to follow.
