I tramped. When I was on the freight trains, I wasn't looking for work. I was looking to go from place to place without paying any money.
The most impactful place that I've been to where I was just completely awestruck, happy, moved is Victoria Falls between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is probably the most beautiful and romantic place in the world.
Even modern English people are imperious, superior, ridden by class. All of the hypocrisy and the difficulties that are endemic in being British also make it an incredibly fertile place culturally. A brilliant place to live. Sad but true.
I can go into restaurants and a whole table will get up and clap if they recognize me, because they love Fox News. Other places - or even the same place - people will turn the other way.
When your persona begins to take over your music and becomes more important, you enter a dangerous place. Once you have people around you who don't question you, you're in a dangerous place.

I don't really care how or why Obama got to the right place on gay marriage. I'm just glad he got there.
Kauai is kind of my place where I go to get centered. It's always my place to come back and feel normal again.

My mother was an avid reader...She loved books about romance. Books that took place in faraway places and times. Stories with costumes...
I simply went down there to catch up with an old mate of mine, who owns the place. He's the one who wrote the book on the place, but no, no movie, just a beer.
As you go along, you literally collect places. I'm fed up with going to places; I shan't go to anymore.
Politics is a lot of serendipity. You're in the right place and the right time and you've got the right message, and it either connects for you or, or it doesn't.
Hardworking is a good attribute, but the pay off is determined by whether you are investing the great effort in the right place.
America would be a better place if leaders would do more long-term thinking.
Fashion is a very stressful place to work because of the demands of doing the shows - no one expects a writer to produce two books a year on the dot - but it's also a very toxic place to work.
We all know the place you're in has a big impact on how you feel. How you feel has an impact on the quality of work. Why wouldn't we put a lot of effort into making the place we work as efficient and productive and pleasant as possible?
