I would wear the blue overalls of the fieldworker and often wore round, rimless glasses known as Mazzawati teaglasses. I had a car, and I wore a chauffeur’s cap with my overalls. The pose of chauffeur was convenient because I could travel under the pretext of driving my master’s car.

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.

What’s fascinating is, people in Washington would rather spend time in Hollywood, and people in Hollywood would rather spend time in Washington.

Paris is always a good idea.

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.

I want to give people a taste of the Caribbean, and show them the fun side of 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.

I’m never in the same place for more than, like, three days at a time. Things can change from one minute to the next.

Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuses himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels.

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.

Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.

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

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

I feel like I have lived all over the world since I get to go everywhere to film.

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.

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.

I mean, Hawaii is beautiful, but the world is full of beautiful places.

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

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.

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

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

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.

I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn’t that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I’d already been translating French poetry, I’d been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.

Touring is very routine. You get to the city, you go to the hotel, you got to be at the hotel by a certain time – it’s very routine. I’m not a very structured person, so when I get some structure, it’s cool; it’s good for me.

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

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.

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.

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.

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

I can’t disguise myself with a wig and dark glasses – the wheelchair gives me away.

I love to travel, but hate to arrive.

If I’m in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I’d much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That’s Rome to me.

I am confident I will set foot again in Tibet in my lifetime.

When you’re on the road and moving city to city, when someone isn’t there at the end of the night, you feel empty.

When I was 18, I went to the Soviet Union. I kept hearing that America was planning to bomb them – lots of bombs were going to come down on these people. I went there not knowing anything, except that I thought the whole thing was stupid and that I wanted to see who these people were that we were going to bomb.

I hope to play until I’m, like, 38 or something, and that’s a lot of years in the game and a lot of travel and a lot of sacrifice on my family’s part.

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

Growing up, my grandmother did not want worldly music in the house. Then when I went out to California, I started listening to Spanish music, mostly Mexican music. But were I in Egypt, I would listen to the music of the people, or if I was in Italy, I’d listen to Italian music.

When good Americans die they go to Paris.

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.

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.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

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 here before and will come again, but I’m not going this trip through.

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

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

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

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?

Exploration by real people inspires us.

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

I was in Europe and it was at this stage that I fell in love with Americans in uniform. And I continue to have that love affair.

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

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.

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

There is nothing more miserable in the world than to arrive in paradise and look like your passport photo.

I’m not afraid to look like a big, hairy, smelly, foreign devil in Tokyo, though I do my best not to, I really do.

Even though I write about the human race, the further away from them, the better I feel. Two miles is great; two thousand miles is beautiful.

If a person is successful, we imagine they are probably also ethical, conscientious and deserving of their good fortune. This obscures the fact that many people who get ahead have done so by doing less than moral actions, which they cleverly disguise from view.

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