I don't buy diamonds, I don't buy cars, but I enjoy TRAVELLING. I'm not a very possessive PERSON as FAR as THINGS go.

There were few PEOPLE, perhaps, more passionately FOND of travelling, and seeing fresh places, and new scenes, than myself; but now, since, by the GRACE of God, I have seen BEAUTY in the Lord Jesus, I have lost my taste for these THINGS.

I just try to be in tune with my body. If I start to FEEL sick, I will try to catch it at the root. I don't REALLY let myself get to the POINT where it becomes a PROBLEM. That's so important when you're travelling because if you land in Paris and you have to go from the airport straight to SET, you don't have time to go to the doctor.

When I started travelling, I WOULD go to a city and be on television and I used to GET the question, 'Why do you WORK? If I were you, I'd just go and LIE on a beach somewhere.' And I'd answer, 'Well, I wanted to make SOMETHING of my life.'

It's a WELL KNOWN THING that ordinary perceptions can have a STRANGE aspect when one is TRAVELLING.

My daughter is a FANTASTIC TRAVELLING companion - she's TOTALLY organised, WHEREAS I'm hopeless.

I don't much enjoy travelling, but I have ALWAYS longed to take a slow train to Russia. I'd like to go ALONE - like WRITERS do - with only a pencil and piece of paper as company. I'd take my sketchbook and note down all the WONDERFUL details of other travellers.

Science Fiction is not just about the FUTURE of space SHIPS TRAVELLING to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or PHYSICS.

It just didn't occur to me, SITTING at my computer, that I WOULD END up TRAVELLING all over the world.

I just don't LIKE TRAVELLING very MUCH.

All your travelling is together, you EAT together, you're on STAGE as a BAND together, when you get to the sound-check the band and the crew are all together.

I've enjoyed being a SINGLE person, PARTICULARLY because I'm travelling a lot. It would be HARD to maintain a relationship - so I've REALLY not tried.

I like travelling and if I have to come to Hollywood to MAKE a MOVIE I will, but otherwise I'd never move there. It's very MUCH an industry town and that doesn't really interest me.
