Eat where the people eat, not the hotels and touristy restaurants. If a local teacher makes $50 a month and they're living decently, see what they do.

Risk-taking, trust, and serendipity are key ingredients of joy. Without risk, nothing new ever happens. Without trust, fear creeps in. Without serendipity, there are no surprises.

Stay away from Europe, stay away from Japan, Australia. If you go to the Western world, you're gonna pay more money. You can spend five months in Bali for what you'd spend in one month in Europe.

I don't worry about being a woman alone out there. My advice to people is to smile a lot, talk to strangers, accept all invitations and eat everything you're offered.

There's no reason to be non-violent. There's no challenge unless you are living for people.

I spend more time in the kitchen than I have in the dining room, for obvious reasons, however, I just want to sit and indulge.

I would rather be a serf in a poor man's house and be above ground than reign among the dead.

If they found a way to make shooting in 240p expensive, it would be trendy.

I hope and look forward to the day that there will be a female president of the United States.

I'm really just a country boy.
