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

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

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.

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.

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.

As a kid, I got three meals a day. Oatmeal, miss-a-meal and no meal.

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

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.

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 love the masochistic aspect of eating seething, real Sichuan food in Sichuan Province.

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

I am not solicitous to examine particularly everything here, which indeed could not be done in fifty years, because my desire is to make all possible discoveries, and return to your Highnesses, if it please our Lord, in April.

The glamour of it all! New York! America!

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

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

Ice-cream is exquisite – what a pity it isn’t illegal.

When good Americans die they go to Paris.

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

It’s difficult to believe that people are still starving in this country because food isn’t available.

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.

There are GMO skeptics more in Europe maybe than in other places, but not exclusively.

I would wear the blue overalls of the fieldworker and often wore round, rimless glasses known as Mazzawati teaglasses. I had a car, and I wore a chauffeur’s cap with my overalls. The pose of chauffeur was convenient because I could travel under the pretext of driving my master’s car.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

I have no desire to crow over anybody or to see anybody eating crow, figuratively or otherwise. We should all get together and make a country in which everybody can eat turkey whenever he pleases.

I love eating chocolate cake and ice cream after a show. I almost justify it in my mind as, ‚You were a good boy onstage and you did your show, so now you can have some cake and ice cream.‘

Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires. If a man would travel far along the mystic road, he must learn to desire God intensely but in stillness, passively and yet with all his heart and mind and strength.

People are generally proud of their food. A willingness to eat and drink with people without fear and prejudice… they open up to you in ways that somebody visiting who is driven by a story may not get.

Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

There is no way I would ask others to go on a Virgin Galactic flight if I didn’t feel it was safe enough for myself.

Anywhere I go, there is always an incredible crowd that follows me. In Rome, as I land at the airport, even the men kiss me. I love Rome.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Of course, animals have to be killed for food or to prevent their doing injury to others or to property. But such killing is too often carried out without regard to the pain inflicted.

To eat is to appropriate by destruction.

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.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.

No place is better than Akron.

Paris ain’t much of a town.

Fuel prices are at the center of our lives. They affect our ability to travel, stay warm, and feed ourselves.

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

Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one’s life.

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

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.

We have food all around us all the time, and if we haven’t eaten for three hours, we think we’re starving. You’re not starving – human beings can go for 30 days without food.

I hid myself in food.

I guess I wanted to leave America for awhile. It wasn’t that I wanted to become an expatriate, or just never come back, I needed some breathing room. I’d already been translating French poetry, I’d been to Paris once before and liked it very much, and so I just went.

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!‘

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.

I have been on the road and visited numerous places and met people from all over the globe. I can say that it looks nearly the same everywhere I have been: The climate crisis is ignored by people in charge, despite the science being crystal clear.

You entertain people who are satisfied. Hungry people can’t be entertained – or people who are afraid. You can’t entertain a man who has no food.

So in our pride we ordered for breakfast an omelet, toast and coffee and what has just arrived is a tomato salad with onions, a dish of pickles, a big slice of watermelon and two bottles of cream soda.

When you’re on the road and moving city to city, when someone isn’t there at the end of the night, you feel empty.

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

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

I, personally, think there is a really danger of taking food too seriously. Food should be part of the bigger picture.

I’ll stay in Memphis.

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.
