I’ll bring my grits when I travel, because I get so hungry on the road.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

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

It is not possible to eat me without insisting that I sing praises of my devourer?

When one travels around the world, one notices to what an extraordinary degree human nature is the same, whether in India or America, in Europe or Australia.

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.

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.

In New York I pretty much live in diners – I order French Fries, Diet Coke floats and lots of coffee.

I shouldn’t be near Vegas and have money in my pocket.

Sometimes the road less traveled is less traveled for a reason.

I love a Hebrew National hot dog with an ice-cold Corona – no lime. If the phone rings, I won’t answer until I’m done.

Barbecue may not be the road to world peace, but it’s a start.

Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.

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

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.

All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.

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

The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‚Bye!‘

Acorns were good until bread was found.

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

People everywhere in the world are hungry for economic opportunity. And it’s about a lot more than being able to make money.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

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

Facts are to the mind what food is to the body.

The Kobe craze really annoyed me. Most of the practitioners had no real understanding of the product and were abusing it and exploiting it in terrible and ridiculous ways. Kobe beef should not be used in a hamburger. It’s completely pointless.

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

I’m a wandering gypsy.

The god of love lives in a state of need. It is a need. It is an urge. It is a homeostatic imbalance. Like hunger and thirst, it’s almost impossible to stamp out.

In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.

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 can’t even speak Hawaiian, but if you go there and listen to a Hawaiian song, you get captured because it’s so beautiful, like the melody is just gorgeous and you know Bob Marley is on the radio every single day. It’s very reggae-influenced down there. Basically, you haven’t been to paradise if you haven’t been to Hawaii.

Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate.

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.

I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.

One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.

When I arrived in Laos and found young Americans living there, out of free choice, I was surprised. After only a week, I began to have a sense of the appeal of the country and its people – along with despair about its future.

The vulgar boil, the learned roast, an egg.

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 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.

Paris ain’t much of a town.

I can’t say this enough – the food that you put into your bodies can actually help you get better grades. And it can also affect your performance in sports and other activities too. You see, when you give your body the best possible fuel, you have more energy, you’re stronger, you think more quickly.

I could do one show after another in China for the rest of my life and still die ignorant. There’s a lot of places left to go.

The most violent appetites in all creatures are lust and hunger; the first is a perpetual call upon them to propagate their kind, the latter to preserve themselves.

Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.

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.

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.

To eat is to appropriate by destruction.

I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast.

Think of our physical sustenance. It is truly heaven-sent. The necessities of air, food, and water all come to us as gifts from a loving Heavenly Father.

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

There are people in the world so hungry, that God cannot appear to them except in the form of bread.

I would say there are some foods that I strongly recommend that you do not eat. No. 1 on that list, I believe, is doughnuts. Comfort food. Zero value. Don’t eat them.

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

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

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.

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.

I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.

Eating words has never given me indigestion.

I like being comfortable at airports, in flip-flops with no jewelry on.

Nobody in Singapore drinks Singapore Slings. It’s one of the first things you find out there. What you do in Singapore is eat. It’s a really food-crazy culture, where all of this great food is available in a kind of hawker-stand environment.
