The countryside, particularly, is very good for my head.

I've always been sort of interested in the rural countryside. Things happen out there that are very strange to city dwellers.

If there was the opportunity to climb a mountain, or to go ballooning, or some adventurous activity, I would always be keen to do it. I loved the countryside.

I'm from northern Virginia, but I grew up next to the West Virginia border, so it was hills and farmland. We had that sense of adventure you get from growing up around old farmhouses and lazy, rolling hills, you know?

It's been really nice to see different counties that I might never have visited before.

Indiana was so lovely. Just so lovely.

Pa did not like a country so old and worn out that the hunting was poor. He wanted to go west. For two years he had wanted to go west and take a homestead, but Ma did not want to leave the settled country.

I wish people would take more care of the countryside.

I loved living in Hollywood - and the weather there was just fantastic - but there is something about rural England, and especially Suffolk and Norfolk, that pulls at my heartstrings.

I'm just fascinated by visiting actual castles in the countryside.
