One thing I like about Twitter is that you can hear it from the horse's mouth.
You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.
I write as a witness to what I have seen.
I travel because I want to know. Books and documentaries will only get you so far. If you want to know, you will have to go.
You gotta live it to feel it, you didn't you wouldn't get it.
You should visit before you pass judgment on a place.
Maybe it's good to put things in perspective, but sometimes, I think that the only perspective is to really be there.
I will not write about anyplace in the world unless I've been there to personally research it.
Only those who are being burned know what fire is like.
You got to go there to know there.
Come down here once, and use your eyes, and you will know more than we can teach you.
If you go to the ball game, you don't need to read the game story.
If you're going to write about the river, you've got to get in.
