I’d wanted emotion but couldn’t find it here, so I settled for motion.
I think everyone just goes to London and says like, oh I went international!
I've travelled the world with football, but probably in a privileged way. We've travelled, and travelling means going from an airport to the pitch to the hotel. I haven't really seen or explored things.

I will not be just a tourist in a world of images.
He who has seen one cathedral ten times has seen something; he who has seen ten cathedrals once has seen but little; and he who has spent half an hour in each of a hundred cathedrals has seen nothing at all.
The majority of my time working is with adults, so I have 'experience' without experiencing it.
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
After thee accumulation of too much history we have lost our innocence, we cannot easily believe in any explanations. We describe rather than feel, we touch rather than explore, we lust rather than adore.

There is a profound gap between meeting a person and knowing a person, and that holds true for the difference between visiting and residing.
If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it’s a superficial experience isn’t it?
