I think all documentaries leave out areas of people’s lives. Which is good. There are areas that need not be explored.

I didn’t want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career I didn’t like it. I always wanted to do other things.

A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.

I let people fill in the blanks on their own. If they want to think about their ex, that’s fine. If they want to think about maybe who one of my exes is, then that’s fine. And it might not be right, because I’m the only one who knows what these songs are really about. It’s the one shred of privacy I have in the matter.

Space is almost infinite. As a matter of fact, we think it is infinite.

If you do not expect the unexpected you will not find it, for it is not to be reached by search or trail.

Of course humans like to explore, and we should. There’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s more than that. It’s essential for your children and your children’s children.

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.

I’ve… been accused of being involved with every man I’m ever seen with or worked with. Maybe I have, maybe I ain’t. I never tell if I have.

One can never know for sure what a deserted area looks like.

If I feel anxious every time someone is staring at me, well, I can’t control what they stare at, but my reaction is, I’m just not going to go outside the house. I’m going to stay in and chill. And when I do go out, I understand what comes along with that.

America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

NBC had a show called ‚The Toughest Bouncer in America‘ that I did. But I told them I didn’t like that term, ‚bouncer.‘ To me, it’s offensive. A bouncer likes to get physical, likes to put his hands on people.

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought.

After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands.

A career is born in public – talent in privacy.

I have no problem if someone wants to hug me – if I know him!

What I’m trying to do is, is to make a significant difference in space flight. And help make space flight accessible to almost anyone.

Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.

The answer I found is you stay away from the people who make fun of you, and you join these ad hoc groups who understand your craziness.

When you are younger, you want to do everything, and you go haywire.

I won’t let people write anything they want to about me.

It’s dangerous when people are willing to give up their privacy.

Somebody just back of you while you are fishing is as bad as someone looking over your shoulder while you write a letter to your girl.

We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us.

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?

I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.

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

There is no subject so old that something new cannot be said about it.

What I do is I write mainly about very personal and rather lonely feelings, and I explore them in a different way each time. You know, what I do is not terribly intellectual. I’m a pop singer for Christ’s sake. As a person, I’m fairly uncomplicated.

Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter.

I don’t compare myself to anyone else; I don’t make comments about anyone else because they do what feels right for them, and that’s okay by me.

Anytime I feel lost, I pull out a map and stare. I stare until I have reminded myself that life is a giant adventure, so much to do, to see.

I spent more time on dark ships in danger zones than any other woman in the world.

Well, in order for me to be successful… In order to be a great artist – musician, actor, painter, whatever – you must be able to be private in public at all times.

My apartment is my stage, and my bedroom is my stage – they’re just not stages you’re allowed to see.

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.

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.

The mountains are calling and I must go.

Big Brother is watching you.

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

The traveler sees what he sees, the tourist sees what he has come to see.

If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there.

I’m never going to go to Mars, but I’ve helped inspire, thank goodness, the people who built the rockets and sent our photographic equipment off to Mars.

There is a need for aloneness, which I don’t think most people realise for an actor. It’s almost having certain kinds of secrets for yourself that you’ll let the whole world in on only for a moment, when you’re acting. But everybody is always tugging at you. They’d all like sort of a chunk of you.

Women have a certain sexuality, and I think their bodies are beautiful, and I’m not embarrassed to explore that in a film. But there are things you get offered that are vulgar and violent – just like there’s a side of me that’s vulgar and violent.

A zero-gravity flight is a first step toward space travel.

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

Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere.

You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it’s been something I’ve been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it’s something I hope to continue because it’s interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.

I don’t dabble and spend much mind or time dealing with, I don’t know, people’s perceptions of me. I truly don’t.

He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed.

Yeah, I like to keep myself interested – I’ll kind of throw myself into some area that I don’t completely know or understand, that I’m not adept at, so I’m forced to swim in order to stay afloat. There’s a good feeling that comes from that.

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

There’s always been a lot of information about your activities. Every phone number you dial, every credit-card charge you make. It’s long since passed that a typical person doesn’t leave footprints.

I’ve learned that usually, the less I know about other people, the better off I am.

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

I’m not comfortable being around too many people. I don’t like being out in public too much. I don’t like going to bars. I don’t like doing celebrity stuff. So most of the characters I play are people who don’t always feel comfortable beyond their small circle of friends.

I love trying new things.

I never like being touched, ever. People used to say I held my breath when they were hugging me. I still do.
