I just like being on my own on trains, traveling. I spent all my pocket money travelling the London Underground and Southern Railway, what used to be the Western region, and in Europe as much as I could afford it. My parents used to think I was going places, but I wasn't, I was just travelling the trains.

Tony Judt

Modern travelling is not travelling at all; it is merely being sent to a place, and very little different from becoming a parcel.

John Ruskin

Writers sometimes are paid a great deal of money, but much more frequently they're not paid or are paid only a little bit.

Alice Mattison

Own it. Just take it and say, 'Yes I will be great, I am going to be great.' Great doesn't mean being a movie star, great doesn't mean having millions of dollars. Great means being able to be confident, strong, and a solid human being that has dignity and integrity. That is great.

Rosie Perez

I've been covering all four corners of the country in connection with promoting sustainable and responsible tourism. So not only am I just travelling, I am travelling responsibly.

Shenaz Treasury

When you spend so much time away from home, travelling around doing things like this, talking about yourself too much, which is often very painful... So, to actually come home and just be amongst people who know you extremely well, who you can't pretend to be anything other than yourself in front of, is a relief really. It gives you a sense of who you are again. You just don't get any time at home... it's such an existence of feeling very unsettled and travelling around. It's great.

Dominic Cooper

I loved being on the radio. Being paid to talk? It's like being paid to eat.

Rachel Maddow

I would never go travelling on my own. Some people like to go backpacking alone, but there's no way I would do that, even if you paid me - I just don't see the point. If I discover something beautiful, for me it's very important to be able to share it with someone and not just see it for myself.

Olga Kurylenko

On my show, nobody's being paid more than me. I don't ask what they're being paid - I just make sure they're not getting more than me.

Noel Fielding

Initially, dancing for me was just for pocket money. The dancers are paid well and you get paid on a daily basis. Eventually when I got promoted as an assistant choreographer I was getting paid more. This was during my college days.

Daisy Shah

Being real in pro wrestling has paid off. Just being myself - that really translated to the fans.

Matt Riddle

Travelling is hard, but travelling and still having style is even harder.

Stephanie Sigman

My music was about travelling a lot and connecting with other people, and English is the voice of travelling.

Jain

When you've done as much travelling as I have, it becomes hard work - I probably spend 90 per cent of the year travelling.

Nasser Hussain

Acting is playing, and it is like being a big kid. Yeah, it's great. You get paid.

Olivia Colman

Ummm, there is not just one good thing about being a VJ, it is a package deal. It is a fun job and you get paid to party and have a good time and make people have a good time, which is great.
