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.

Recommend virtue to your children; it alone, not money, can make them happy. I speak from experience.

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.

I feel like a spoilt rapper. I get to pick and choose everything.

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.

I’m more of an adventurous type than a relationship type.

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.

How do people relate to movies now, when they’re on portable devices or streaming them? It’s not as much about going to the movies. That experience has changed.

Because of my wrestling background, nothing a director can throw at me on a set can faze me.

For me, there are two types of people: the young and the experienced.

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.

The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.

When I was 8 years old, it mattered what my favorite singer said and wore and expressed opinions about.

Well, we’re living in a material world, and I’m a material girl… or boy.

If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.

I love the freedom of movement that my phone gives me. That has definitely transformed my life.

In the studio, we adhere to a strict colour code. Developed over decades, the colour code consists of a finite and precise colour palate… The whole world as we experience it comes to us through the mystic realm of colour.

Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?

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

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.

Did you ever notice that the first piece of luggage on the carousel never belongs to anyone?

Hong Kong is a wonderful, mixed-up town where you’ve got great food and adventure. First and foremost, it’s a great place to experience China in a relatively accessible way.

I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one’s memories.

The use of travelling is to regulate imagination by reality, and instead of thinking how things may be, to see them as they are.

Sometimes, women in families put themselves last until it manifests itself in their own health.

There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate, upon real favors from nation to nation. It is an illusion which experience must cure, which a just pride ought to discard.

More understand China, then more people will have interest in China and more people will come to China to visit us because I am a tourist ambassador.

We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.

Old age is like a plane flying through a storm. Once you’re aboard, there’s nothing you can do.

I was adored once too.

I no longer feel attracted to the well-made novel. I want to write the story that will zero in and give you intense, but not connected, moments of experience. I guess that’s the way I see life. People remake themselves bit by bit and do things they don’t understand.

Experience is not what happens to you; it’s what you do with what happens to you.
