I would read the atlas for pleasure. I knew it was weird. It was weird.

Travel is hard, but entertaining is joy.

I'm quite happy trekking around Greenland on my own, but those big book tours in America or the Far East are the only time I ever really feel lonely.

Why, I'd like nothing better than to achieve some bold adventure, worthy of our trip.

I've done a reasonable amount of travelling, which I enjoyed, but not for too long at a time.

Drop the idea that you are Atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. The world would go on even without you. Don't take yourself so seriously.

Whereas for me, touring tends to be a very strange and isolating experience.

You must enjoy the journey because whether or not you get there, you must have fun on the way.

When I'm in a place like Iceland, I allow myself to take a little more time to divert off onto other paths creatively for a while and see what comes to me.

When I'm traveling the world, I don't ever look anymore at the geography - just enough to catch galleries and paintings.
