The best cure for the body is a quiet mind.

‚Fame‘ exhausts me.

Having a bunch of cats around is good. If you’re feeling bad, you just look at the cats, you’ll feel better because they know that everything is just as it is. There’s nothing to get excited about. They just know. They’re saviours.

I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.

I don’t have emotional needs, only physical ones.

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

I don’t race cars.

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.

When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.

There is just no comparison between having a dinner date with a man and staying home playing canasta with the girls.

Today, we have private airline companies, but if you take a look at a Boeing plane next time you travel, you’ll see that you are basically taking a ride on a modified bomber.

I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started.

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.

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

I’ve been to those places where it’s ‚poor, pitiful me.‘

Work aside, we come to New York for the possibility of interaction and inspiration.

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.

Sometimes, getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth is the hardest part of the day – it all just hurts.

Big stuff and little: learning how to order breakfast in a country where I don’t speak the language and haven’t been before – that’s really satisfying to me. I like that.

When you get into your car, shut the door and be there for just half a minute. Breathe, feel the energy inside your body, look around at the sky, the trees. The mind might tell you, ‚I don’t have time.‘ But that’s the mind talking to you. Even the busiest person has time for 30 seconds of space.

How should a man be capable of grooming his own horse, or of furbishing his own spear and helmet, if he allows himself to become unaccustomed to tending even his own person, which is his most treasured belonging?

When you wash your hands, when you make a cup of coffee, when you’re waiting for the elevator – instead of indulging in thinking, these are all opportunities for being there as a still, alert presence.

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

In spiritual things, it is God who performs all things for you. Rest in Him, then.

Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‚to do‘ list.

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 think it’s very important to cry in the shower and not in front of them. They need to know that everything’s going to be all right, even when you’re not sure it is.

I like to let things breathe.

Increased means and increased leisure are the two civilizers of man.

Be of love a little more careful than of anything.

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 person who doesn’t scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs.

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

No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. I have known mothers who remake the bed after their children do it because there is wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick.

I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wake-up letter.

I’ve always been a bit of a gypsy.

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.

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