Did you know that Christmas Day is absolutely the best day to fly? It is. No crowded airports and crowded planes. I always flew to Australia. That's what Christmas was for me - a plane journey to the next tournament.

Work with your competitors when the interest of the community and planet are at stake.

We've got gays working there. If they can demonstrate long-term relationships we make same-sex benefits available just as we do with common-law marriages. Gays are productive people. Some fly airplanes some work in breweries.

I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe we're all put on this planet for a purpose and we all have a different purpose... When you connect with that love and that compassion that's when everything unfolds.

I think the most important thing people can do to save our planet and the human race is to empower women!

I love Sweden. The entire world should be like Sweden. They all like to drink and get naked and the women are hot. I can't think of a better nation on the planet.

And so whether they came here on the Mayflower on a slave ship or on an airplane from Havana we are all descendants of the men and women who built here the nation that saved the world.

The connections between and among women are the most feared the most problematic and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.

I want to start my own airplane business. I'm going to buy two Dakotas paint them up in war colours and do er nostalgia trips to Arnhem - you know where the old paratroopers used to go - and charge them about 20 quid a time.

We still live with this unbelievable threat over our heads of nuclear war. I mean are we stupid? Do we think that the nuclear threat has gone that the nuclear destruction of the planet is not imminent? It's a delusion to think it's gone away.

We have no control over the outcome of anything. Like the planet and global warming we don't control that. If politicians want a war we don't control that. Acts of terrorism we can't control them.

When I was in the war I was lucky that I was in a plane and never saw the carnage close-up.

War contributes greatly to global warming which shouldn't surprise us. All those bombs going off all those rockets all those planes and helicopters. All that fuel of various kinds being used. It pollutes the air and water of this very fragile and interconnected planet.

Traveling is my form of self-education. Every stream I fish now is not as good as it used to be. Traveling is my form of self-education. Every stream I fish now is not as good as it used to be. If you keep your eyes open as you travel around you realize we are destroying this planet.

When the plane is delayed it's not the fault of the girl at the desk. I'm resigned to the fact that everything is out of my control and that air travel nowadays is barbaric.

Air travel survived decades of terrorism including attacks which resulted in the deaths of everyone on the plane. It survived 9/11. It'll survive the next successful attack. The only real worry is that we'll scare ourselves into making air travel so onerous that we won't fly anymore.

I travel Europe every couple of weeks. I just came back from London Holland and Denmark. Every nation on this planet has its issues with race and I am not sure if everyone has figured out how to deal with it.

I wanted to travel from the beginning. As a kid I used to dream about airplanes before I ever flew in one.

Some guys travel with expensive Louis Vuitton luggage but it gets all scratched up under the plane. I'd rather not spend too much money on something that's just going to get messed up.

We're constantly buying airplane tickets we travel on the Concorde.

But today we become aware of other readings of the human experience very quickly because of the media and the speed with which people travel the planet.

By the time I'm 40 interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age anyway.

My kids started school so having a strong base in Melbourne has been a key priority. I'm not daunted by the travel. People say 'It's so far to Australia ' and I say 'You get on the plane you eat well you sleep you wake up - and you're there.'

We have so much pride in welcoming these passengers onto the plane and they have so much pride in travel. It's something that I definitely always remember when I'm playing a scene on the plane just to imbue everything with that sense of excitement.
