The penalty for getting mugged in an American city and losing your ID is that you can’t fly home.

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

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

The penalty for laughing in a courtroom is six months in jail; if it were not for this penalty, the jury would never hear the evidence.

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

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

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.

Anyone who’s traveled with me to Afghanistan knows why I love this book: ‚War,‘ by Sebastian Junger.

Tomorrow morning before we depart, I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood.

The fact is: It’s true what they say about the United States. It is a land of opportunity. It is too various to get bored with it.

Going to Southeast Asia for the first time and tasting that spectrum of flavors – that certainly changed my whole palate, the kind of foods I crave. A lot of the dishes I used to love became boring to me.

The whole object of travel is not to set foot on foreign land; it is at last to set foot on one’s own country as a foreign land.

Not all those who wander are lost.

You pay a certain penalty for going your own way. A lot of people think you’re nuts, and you’re not as popular with girls as you should be.

As a teenager, I went to Bali a lot, but it’s a long, long way from England. Which is why, when we bought Necker Island, we made it like a mini Bali.

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.

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

When I went back to England after a year away, the country seemed stuck, dozing in a fairy tale, stifled by the weight of tradition.

Exploration by real people inspires us.

Hawaii is paradise. It sounds cheesy to say it, but there’s music in the air there.

Wherever I go, as long as I get a hot vegetable dish, I am okay. If I am in Gujarat, I have Gujarati food. If it’s Shillong, it’s northeastern.

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.

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

I just really want to get music out and tour and go places I’ve never been, and just do more videos. I love photography and videography, and so I really want to direct videos when I can.

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

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

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’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.

The purpose of a vacation is to have the time to rest. But many of us, even when we go on vacation, don’t know how to rest. We may even come back more tired than before we left.

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 always seem to get inspiration and renewed vitality by contact with this great novel land of yours which sticks up out of the Atlantic.

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

Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.

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.

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

Anyone who doesn’t have a great time in San Francisco is pretty much dead to me.

I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.

I had rather have a fool to make me merry than experience to make me sad and to travel for it too!

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.

I have visited Japan several times and have always been shown wonderful hospitality.

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.

By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world can show.

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 came to China to follow my star and to steep myself in the raw regions of the universe.

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

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

Adventures are to the adventurous.

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.

The glamour of it all! New York! America!

I’ll stay in Memphis.

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

Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

Acting helped me as I was growing up. It helped me learn about myself, helped me travel, helped me understand life, express myself, all those wonderful things. So I’m very, very grateful; it’s a fun job. It’s a luxury.

I remember as a little girl going down to the beet fields in the Dakotas and in Nebraska and Wyoming as migrant workers when I was very, very small, like, I was, like, 5 years old, I believe. And I remember going out there, you know, traveling to these states and living in these little tarpaper shacks that they had in Wyoming.

My luck is getting worse and worse. Last night, for instance, I was mugged by a quaker.

That’s one of the biggest things. Never being home, always traveling, having different interests and focusing on different things, just the time aspect of going back home and seeing them, you don’t have that at all. It was a big sacrifice but, at the end of the day, it was worth it.

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

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.

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