For me the first great joy of traveling is simply the luxury of leaving all my beliefs and certainties at home, and seeing everything I thought I knew in a different light, and from a crooked angle.

In an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still.

Hello Kitty will never speak.

Making a living and making a life sometimes point in opposite directions.

Travel is not really about leaving our homes, but leaving our habits.

But it’s only by having some distance from the world that you can see it whole, and understand what you should be doing with it.

Home is not just the place where you happen to be born. Its the place where you become yourself.

We travel, initially, to lose ourselves; and we travel, next to find ourselves.

Finding a sanctuary, a place apart from time, is not so different from finding a faith.

I often think we're most happy when we forget the time.

A person susceptible to "wanderlust" is not so much addicted to movement as committed to transformation.

And I or you pocketless of a dime, may purchase the pick of the earth.

A century ago, people laughed at the notion that we were descended from monkeys. Today, the individuals most offended by that claim are the monkeys.

Being our best is asking how can we take ourselves to the precipice of our own limits in any and every situation?

We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals.

Raising children changes everything. It's a complete cliché to say that, but it's really true.

I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted.

People test movies within an inch of their life, so that the entire audience experience is a uniform one.

I wish someone had told me that my stories are really mine to tell. In other words, anything that I think is important or that has moved me has the ability to move somebody else.

I've worked with actors who tell everyone what to do in the scene - that makes me go pretty atomic.

I think one of the most pivotal moments in modern American history was Donald Trump's immediate withdraw from TPP.
