Sometimes you can get so far in yourself that you don't know who you are.

I have a house, I try to spend as little time in it as possible. Not always easy on the mind and body, but it's how I got myself to 80-plus countries. This kind of routine forces one to reinvent and improvise. The older I get, the more important this is to me.

I wouldn't want to roll the dice on Kabul by myself, because I really think getting killed is definitely a possibility there. A very good possibility.

Like a lot of inwardly drawn young people, I spent a lot of time in libraries. At my high school, I often spent my lunch breaks there.

To hate is to show you still care, who needs that, focus on what's really important.

Life is weird, great and dangerous.

I’m packed with broken glass and memories and it all hurts.
