“In 1992 I was doing one of my first ever tours and I was in Heathrow airport and I saw these middle-aged musicians who had clearly been on tour for decades, and they all looked haggard and unhappy and unhealthy. I vowed to myself that I would never be that person. Flash forward 20 years and I found myself in Heathrow looking haggard and unhappy and unhealthy. I decided I would rather spend my time staying home working on music and making dinner with friends, instead of spending six months in a hotel in a state of depressing suspended adolescence.” YearsFirstsPersonsStatesHomeFoundSawsMiddleMonthsSixMusicianDecidedDinnerSpendingDecadesUnhappyMy TimeHotelStayingFlashDepressingAdolescenceSix MonthsAirportsUnhealthySuspendedMiddle AgedHaggardDinner With Friends Author:Moby
“I hate repetition. Even when I am home and have to buy milk, I go a different way each time to avoid having a habit of anything. Habits are really bad. So to me it is really important to live in what I call the spaces in-between. Bus stations, trains, taxis or waiting rooms in airports are the best places because you are open to destiny, you are open to everything and anything can happen.” WayImportantDifferentHomeHappensHateWaitingSpaceRoomsDestinyHabitI HateTrainDifferent WaysStationsBusMilkRepetitionAirportsTaxiBest PlaceAnything Can HappenWaiting Rooms Author:Marina Abramovic
“No music. No rituals. At home I write in my office or on the laptop in the kitchen where our puppy likes to sleep, and I love his company. But I've trained myself to be able to work anywhere, and I write on trains, planes, in automobiles (if I'm not the driver), airports, hotel rooms. I travel often. If I couldn't write wherever I was I would get little done. I also can write in short bursts. Fifteen minutes are enough to move a story forward.” IfsWritingLittlesDoneEnoughStoriesHomeAbleMovingSleepRoomsCompanyMinutesOfficeTrainLikesPlanesKitchenHotelDriversRitualFifteenAirportsAutomobilePuppyLaptopsHotel Rooms Author:Gail Carson Levine
