Behold the turtle. He makes progress only when he sticks his neck out.

Watch the turtle. He only moves forward by sticking his neck out.

You have to let the world speak to you and then you speak, you know, so I'm in that moment now where I'm finding the world's voice.

Long walks force a certain meditative awareness. You're not moving so fast that you miss the world's details passing by - in fact, you can stop to inspect something that might catch your eye.

I advise, if you're stymied by a passage or paragraph or plot point - whether it's for an assignment from the outside world or one that comes only from within - get up from wherever you're sitting, walk outdoors, and do nothing but look at the sky for five minutes. Just stare at that thing. Then execute a small bow and go back in.

Try to be like the turtle - at ease in your own shell.

We crossed the Himalayas in less than two minutes, and then you realise, 'Oh My God, within an hour and a half, we have gone around the whole planet.'

And when you look at the Turtle's movie there is something there, definitely something there.
