I owned the world that hour as I rode over it. free of the earth, free of the mountains, free of the clouds, but how inseparably I was bound to them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've traveled around the world.
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.'
I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work.
What have you given the world it never possessed before you came?
Remember how small the world was before I came along? I brought it all to life: I moved the whole world onto a 20-foot screen.
I went down to Venezuela and ended up renting a helicopter and flew with my sons to the tops of the tepuis, these freestanding jungle mesas, 'lost worlds' as it were. In fact, it's almost impossible to access them without one. So we were able to land and spend some time there. We were trapped for about six hours by clouds that came in.
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.
By the time I was in sixth grade I could bound every country in the world from memory.
All the earth is mine, and I have a right to go all over it and through it.
I spent my entire childhood in an environment in which the mighty of the earth had no place outside story books and dreams.
