If I get the walk of a character, that helps me find them. So I’m constantly looking at airports and train stations, registering walks.
Everything I do, I go to black people. If I have a problem at the airport, I’ll go to the black ticket agent. I hope they notice me because I’ll get better service. If I’m at a restaurant, I look for the black waiter. Rent-a-Car, give you the upgrade.
I’ve been to Reagan National Airport. I tell people it was named after me.

Before I became a parent, I was a bestselling author and speaker pounding up the escalators of a different airport every week.
Never fly to the U.S. the day before Thanksgiving or the weekend after because every airport is guaranteed to be crammed to bursting with people in transit to, or from, their home town.
Airports! The neon floodlit, recycled air filled, melodramatic hell of them. The purposeful mass migration of anxiety-ridden humans as they frantically navigate through beeping buggies and mechanised walkways to make it to their gate in time is the stuff of dystopian nightmares.
I don’t like waiting in airports for my bags. Even worse, I don’t like waiting in airports when my bags are lost.
Every president, Democrat or Republican, every Congress, has gotten behind the idea that we have to invest in our highways, our bridges, our roads, our airports. The idea that now this is somehow a partisan issue, it boggles the mind.

I remember, once I was going through Nice airport with Roger Moore, and these kids came up and asked for our autographs. Afterwards, Roger said, ‘It must be very strange for you. I’m an actor, and signing autographs is part of what I do. But you’re a public figure who people don’t really know.’ He was right.
Whenever I am at the airport, I always manage to get a hug from the security personnel present at the security check. They always tell me that they love the songs from ‘Border,’ and its amazing that even 20 years later, the songs continue to hold the same meaning and impact they had when the film was released.
When you play in a band, you’re in phase with people. When you’re a DJ, you’re totally off-phase. Your work time is 3 A.M. – 5 A.M. and I don’t think you can connect. You’re miserable the whole time. Whenever I see a DJ in the airport, they are always on the verge of crying.

The episode of the ‘shoe bomber,’ Richard Reid, has suddenly meant more feet being bared at airports than at the average Hindu temple. My solution has been to replace my customary lace-up Oxfords with a pair of slip-on loafers when I fly. Generals are always fighting the last war, and security screeners are the same.
I am finished with cities. I spent four years in New York, ten in Paris, and I was in Belgrade for a while. To me now they are just airports.
I met Sable when she was 15 and I was 18. I sent her home to New York while we carried on the tour. When we got back the police were looking for her at the airport and everywhere!
In April of 1976, Epic Records was flying out to sign us when I tripped over a light case after a gig and broke my arm.

I’m so proud of this show and I’m really stoked that fans were so enthusiastic about the show so quickly. I mean, I got recognized for ‘Arrow’ at the airport when I was headed to Vancouver to shoot the second episode. That was kind of crazy.
We have a huge family history with Singapore because we have the duty-free shops in the airports. It’s a very industrious city. It’s beautiful, and Singaporeans have this wonderful desire for, and love of, luxury goods. You can see how well thought out and planned the city is with the best boutiques.
The airport paparazzi kind of wigs me out a little bit.

Fans in Brazil cross the line. A few times at Fluminense, the fans would go to the airport after we had played away to shout at us.
Sometimes airport security people recognize me. I’ll go through the whole screening process and at the end they’ll go, ‘Hey, man, I really like your work.’ That’s so cool.
I woke up one time coming out of a blackout, and I was on an airplane, descending to land in Charles de Gaulle Airport in France. And all I can think is I must have decided it was a good idea to go to France, and got my passport, and got on a plane.
You’ll never see me in an airport without a DDP YOGA shirt. It says, ‘It Ain’t Your Mama’s Yoga’ on the back and ‘DDP YOGA’ in the front. Every time I walk around, people see the shirt, and it makes them smile.
I’m pleased to announce that my government will build the much-needed Melbourne airport rail link.
