• Siempre me siento más cómodo en un entorno caótico. No sé por qué. Creo que el orden es aburrido. Hay algo en este tipo de deseo de orden, sobre todo en las culturas anglosajonas, que expulsa esta capacidad de las calles de convertirse en un lugar realmente exótico, amorfo, caótico y orgánico donde las ideas pueden, básicamente, desarrollarse.

• When I think, where did I laugh the most, where did I eat the most, where did I just feel good all the time, I would say making the Bond movie 'Die Another Day.' To be part of such an iconic franchise and to travel to exotic places - that was the most fun I ever had.

• No me considero un músico que haya alcanzado la perfección y no pueda evolucionar más. Pero compongo mis piezas con una fórmula que yo mismo he creado. Pensemos en un músico como John Coltrane. Es un músico perfecto, que puede expresar todas las posibilidades de su instrumento. Pero parece tener dificultades para expresar ideas originales con él. Por eso sigue buscando ideas en lugares exóticos. Al menos yo no tengo ese problema, porque, como digo, encuentro mi inspiración en mí mismo.

  Thelonious Monk

• I've always been scared of advertising folk. I've met them at parties and I've been to their offices and I've always found them intimidatingly cool. At one company I visited, they held their meetings in a caravan that had somehow been installed in the place, a rather more exotic place to gather than the typical BBC glass box.

• I've done a reasonable amount of travelling, which I enjoyed, but not for too long at a time. I'm a home-body and get fatigued by it fairly soon, but enjoy thinking back on experiences when I've returned and then often wish I'd arranged a longer stay in the somewhat exotic place.

• I'll always love Paraguay. It's this most exotic place configured out of the imagination, the whole country.Paraguay will always be a special place in my heart. I go back a long way. I first arrived as a refugee in 1982 from the Falklands War. So it was a safe haven then, and it has become something exotic since then. I feel like I'd like the dust to settle a little bit before going back.

• Los cruceros de vacaciones se anuncian como lujosos viajes a lugares exóticos, pero uno de los principales placeres es la lectura de libros... .

• We are not simply intellectual creatures. We wish to make love, to enjoy a gourmet dinner, to jog in the park, to cheer lustily at a ball game, to engage in spirited conversation with our friends, to play bridge or tennis, travel to exotic places, struggle with others to build a better world, and to enjoy the arts. The arts are so vital because they help to make life worth living. Music, poetry, literature, paintings, dance, and the theater are among our richest joys...The fine arts contribute immeasurably to the good life and that is why we cherish them.
