Book tours and research provide a lot of travel - too much I sometimes think but we do take vacations.

As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.

I love to travel but sometimes it's nice to stay in one place.

I sometimes skip meals when I travel.

As an actor I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels and many times I've been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.

Sometimes you want to go for a walk and you don't want to be watched. You just want to be anonymous and blend in. Especially when I travel I feel that way because I can't really go out and see a city the way other people can and I miss out on a lot.

I mean I'd love to have a private jet - I know people who fly by private jet all the time... I've hitched a ride a few times and it is not overrated at all it's a great way to travel!

Sometimes your friends are your lovers or have been at one time.

If you're climbing the ladder of life you go rung by rung one step at a time. Don't look too far up set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don't think you're progressing until you step back and see how high you've really gone.

I do believe sometimes discipline is very important. I'm not just lying around like a lazy cow all the time.
