I can write anywhere. I write in airports. I write on airplanes. I’ve written in the back seats of taxis. I write in hotel rooms. I love hotel rooms. I just write wherever I am whenever I need to write.

I get depressed at airports.
If I catch Corey Graves on the street, I’m gonna do something to him. I ain’t gonna do it at the office or the airport, but if I catch Corey Graves on the street, you see that little bouffant hairdo he got? I’m gonna rearrange it for him.
In America, if you want to make it as a golfer, you go to college on a scholarship. In Australia, you go to the airport with a plane ticket. The competition just isn’t there.

I think it’s pretty crazy when I walk down in the airport and a 12-year-old boy comes up to me and says, ‘Hey, I watched you at the World Cup. Great game! Great job!’ I love that.

‘Company’ has become a cult film. When people see me at the airport, and when I travel, they call me ‘Companywala.’
Don’t get me wrong – our fanbase is super passionate, and I love them, but there’s a difference between stalking me at the airport and just happening to see me.

I might be in an airport, late or angry with a ticket person, and I’m going to sort of check myself, because part of me is seen as Eric Camden. We all need as much help as we can get. It’s a role model to me as much as to anybody else.
Today, I am a touring standup comic who cannot stand up. Within three minutes, I begin to wilt, lose my balance, and topple over. I can tap dance and run in heels, but I need to use a wheelchair to navigate airports.

Airport security exists to guard us against terrorist attacks.
When I go through the airport and see white women walking through the airport barefooted, like athlete’s feet don’t exist, there’s something wrong.

I’m from Houston. I think I was thirty-seven before I ever set foot in Dallas, and that was just in the airport. So I’ve never really been there. Dad grew up in Port Arthur, Texas and all I can ever get out of him is, ‘I wanted my first son to be named Dallas.’
I don’t miss going to airports and hanging out in hotel rooms.
The combination of funding for our ports, airports, and highways is a really significant investment in our infrastructure.

I wrapped a movie called ‘Zombieland,’ in which I was constantly under assault by zombies, then flew to New York, still very much in character. With my daughter at the airport I was startled by a paparazzo, who I quite understandably mistook for a zombie.
There are twice as many knitters as golfers in North America. Still, if you walk into any airport in North America, you can find a golf magazine but not a knitting magazine, even though you can’t golf on a plane.
Donald Trump wouldn’t work on paper. Obnoxious, crass, boastful, and vulgar, with garish tastes and a Stepford wife – as a fictional character, he’d seem too crudely drawn. Even in a trashy airport thriller, readers wouldn’t buy such a boor as president.
From the time I was a little itty-bitty kid, I was going to the airport every day. I began to study all the airplanes, and I’d draw all the airplanes.
Anticipating that most poetry will be worse than carrying heavy luggage through O’Hare Airport, the public, to its loss, reads very little of it.
I can tell you, I was in Seoul, Korea, and I had people come up to me in the airport and say ‘Congratulations on your induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.’ Of course, I can go to Garden City, Kan., and get the same kind of reception. It truly is an honor.
Egyptian drumming happens to be a favorite of mine. It’s a really simple instrument, but it’s really difficult to play. You can take it anywhere with you – you can play it in your room, in an airport. It’s very quiet, so you explore the quiet side.
When you go for business, you just see the airport, the offices, cities. You never see what 80 per cent of the population does in a country, so if you want to understand what Indonesia is made of, or the depths of China or India, you have to go and see.
I don’t like getting patted down and taking off my shoes at the airport.
So many of our businesses rely on green card holders – how are we supposed to attract these people if they think they’ll be detained at the airport if they go abroad for a wedding or just to show their baby to relatives?
Naming me ‘Twinkle’ was a foolproof way of making sure that I would get teased throughout my life, have immigration officers at various airports stare at my passport and shake with hysterical laughter, and strangers stalk me with WhatsApp messages like, ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, little star, I hope you get hit by a car!’
