One of the things that make motorcycling so great is because it never fails to give you a feeling of freedom and adventure.
When you're very young, you suddenly find this marvellous freedom. It's quite exciting, and you're prepared to do anything.
There's a freedom you begin to feel the closer you get to Austin, Texas.
'Paris, Texas' is the first film that I've totally cared about, the first movie I totally wanted to do - and that after 27 years that I considered my prison term.
It's triumphant for someone to wake up to life. I feel a tremendous sense of liberation. You want to be able to use both your intuitive side and your go-get-'em side with no blame.
I think a lot of nice things happen when you're driving, or when you're on a plane, or whatever. There's a certain freedom that comes along with motion.
I have no driver's license, so I ride a bicycle beside the Han River. That's what I really love because no one gives a damn about me for that moment. I feel so free.
That was the - It was an exciting time because it was as though I was sort of tied up in a paper bag or in a gunny sack with a rope around the neck of it, and all of a sudden with the acceptance of that first book everything sort of spilled out!
Reality has a quality of freedom about it that is hard to explain.
When you've got the road to yourself, it's the most amazing feeling.
I feel so great on a plane that it could be the end of everything, and I don't care.
A certain feeling comes from throwing your good life away, and it is one part rapture.
The day I write my last word will be the day that I feel free.
It's a balancing act of you feel horrible that you're away but there is something about the road that is rather liberating.
