It's wonderful to learn about new cultures and to be able to travel easily to so many countries.

Working overseas is more difficult in that it's much more complicated to get people to open their hearts to you and to tell you information.

When you travel, remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable.

It began to dawn on me that perhaps my country needed me more at home than overseas.

Living abroad has heightened my interest in how foreigners regard the strange places we encounter.

I've only ever known growing up across different countries - to me it's just fun.

I've always enjoyed traveling and having experience with different cultures and different people. But it's also a wonderful thing to be able to benefit and enable research, not only in our country but around the world.

I'm appreciated more abroad. In America, Japan... and in the United Kingdom.

I think you learn a lot about a country from its art. To me, it's part of the drama of life. It teaches you that there are places, moments and incidents in other cultures that genuinely have a life of their own.
