Having been on tour in countries that are extremely eco-friendly, we automatically end up doing the things that normal people do in other countries.

I've been to almost every country in the world, and the most frustrating thing for me has been that my schedule has always been so busy that there's so little time before and after performances to explore where I'm visiting.

Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.

One of the things I'm fascinated by as a traveler is watching how different countries control how they let the world encounter them.

People get really caught up in their own trips.

To enjoy enduring success we should travel a little in advance of the world.

You have to travel globally today to know what's going on and maintain an edge.

There are people who travel because they want to push themselves to physical limits, people who walk across deserts or cycle across the Antarctic - like Ranulph Fiennes, who just does it because it's there. And then there are people like me, who are just genuinely curious about the world.

The travel impulse is mental and physical curiosity. It's a passion. And I can't understand people who don't want to travel.

The kind of pace that you want to use in a Western - just to acknowledge the land in the distance that everyone has to travel, and the way things develop sort of slowly - it's almost the antithetical of what's currently going on in the movies, you know.
