The road is better than the inn.
The open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself.
Travelling makes me feel free. I love Cape Town, and different parts of Europe. I love New York; I could live there in a heartbeat. I love London. Mostly, I like travelling to untouched kind of places. I love the mountains.
I don't want a pickle, just want to ride on my motorsickle.
Getting on the road and driving along a road at night, or even in the daytime and seeing the oceans or whatever, is always liberating.
It wasn't until I went to college and I got my first motorcycle that I understood the thrill of speed.
When I finish a movie, I get in my camper and drive around the country.
When I'm driving the highway by myself is when I write best.
Road's in front o' me, Nothin' to do but walk.
I've written a number of songs over the years and it's a big part of my life, this sort of tension between a longing for home and the call for the open road. It's sort of like a tug between two families. I even love to miss my home.
I keep thinking I'm going to miss it back in Los Angeles. But I don't. The only thing I miss is driving out in the desert in the Southwest.
Roll down the window and let the wind blow back your hair. The night's busted open. These two lanes will take us anywhere.
Being on the road isn't hell - it's pure pleasure now.
I love driving.
It's really fun to just get on a bike and just go and, I guess in a way, to be able to leave the tour and not be confined and all that kind of stuff.
To drive a car in rural America is freedom. Before I had a car, I'd never seen a rock and roll show, I'd never seen a comic or a show.
I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead.
Strong and content I travel the open road.
I love the road. The closest thing to home, for me, is being on a tour bus, ironically.
I like to drive and I like to travel. When I drive on the open road, it's like sometimes the car turns into a pen and the road is a piece of paper.
The road, lyric-wise, is a trap, and a bore. Maybe it's interesting to me, but I don't think it's a connecting thing with other humans. What is there to write about? Truck stops, hotels, clubs?
I like life on the road. It's a lot easier than civilian life. You kind of feel like you're in a motorcycle gang.
I haven't found anywhere in the world where I want to be all the time. The best of my life is the moving. I look forward to going.
Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive. When I ride through Beverly Hills in the early morning, and all the sprinklers have turned off, the scents that wash over me are just heavenly. Being House is like flying, too. You're free of the gravity of what people think.
One of the things that make motorcycling so great is because it never fails to give you a feeling of freedom and adventure.
