The fact that people will pay you to talk to people and travel to interesting places and write about what intrigues you I am just amazed by that.

Songs really are like a form of time travel because they really have moved forward in a bubble. Everyone who's connected with it the studio's gone the musicians are gone and the only thing that's left is this recording which was only about a three-minute period maybe 70 years ago.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

When I travel I love speaking to women around the world about the things that inspire them the fashions they like what makes something good and what would make it even better.

We are what our thoughts have made us so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live they travel far.
