I’m really good at sleeping on planes. I mean, I smell jet fuel and I’m out; I’m asleep for takeoff.

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

If you don’t trust the pilot, don’t go.

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

You can know or not know how a car runs and still enjoy riding in a car.

Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!

Writing and travel broaden your ass if not your mind and I like to write standing up.

In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times.

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.

People from all over the world come to London wanting to make their own mark on it, and they add to the energy and vitality of the capital. It’s got a bit busier since the ’60s, but the more the merrier!

Cycling can be lonely, but in a good way. It gives you a moment to breathe and think, and get away from what you’re working on.

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

I’ve never been to New Zealand before. But one of my role models, Xena, the warrior princess, comes from there.

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.

And I wound up in New Orleans for all those years and it was a great place, really a catalyst creatively.

If we could do high-speed rail in California just half a notch above what they’ve done on the Shanghai line in China, and if we had a straight path from L.A. to San Francisco, as well as the milk run, at least that would be progress.

I make good music for long journeys.

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

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.

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.

On vacations: We hit the sunny beaches where we occupy ourselves keeping the sun off our skin, the saltwater off our bodies, and the sand out of our belongings.

We are going to transform Britain’s rail system from the worst in the world to the best. If you can do a few things like that, when the body gives out, you can say you’ve lived a good life.

I’ve grown accustomed to hotels and drastic climate change.

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.

There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.

Paris ain’t much of a town.

Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring classes.

When I retire I’m going to spend my evenings by the fireplace going through those boxes. There are things in there that ought to be burned.

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

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.

There can never be any stop to learn about different cultures by travelling to different places. And whatever comes your way, continue the healthy eating habits.

He does not seem to me to be a free man who does not sometimes do nothing.

You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.

I read a lot when I’m travelling and always have a couple of books on the go.

There’s nowhere else like London. Nothing at all, anywhere.

When I’m home, I spend Sunday with my husband. If we’re not cooking, we travel around in our camper, stop at fast-food restaurants, and picnic. We love that stuff that will harden your arteries in a hurry.

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

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.

You learn a lot from traveling around.

The traveller has reached the end of the journey!

My neighbor has a circular driveway… he can’t get out.

Fatigue is the best pillow.

During the season, most of my time to unwind is in my car ride home. When I get home, it’s being with my kids.

My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.

I like to let things breathe.

Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.

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.

Contrary to popular belief, I don’t spend a whole lot of time following soccer. But as I have traveled around the world to better understand global development and health, I’ve learned that soccer is truly universal. No matter where I go, that’s what kids are playing. That’s what people are talking about.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

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.

There appears to be something to do with vehicles and movement that stimulates my writing.

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.

I once went on the most grueling radio tour. Living in hotel rooms, sleeping in the backs of rental cars as my mom drove to three different cities in one day.

I became a beach bum.

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

Paris is always a good idea.

There’s nothing – I’ve bought everything I want. I don’t like yachts or anything; you know, I’m not a yacht person, and I’ve got pretty much the nicest plane I’d want to have.

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

Have fun in your command. Don’t always run at a breakneck pace. Take leave when you’ve earned it, spend time with your families.

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.

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.
