We all know how we can be turned around by a magic place; that's why we travel, often. And yet we all know, too, that the change cannot be guaranteed. Travel is a fool's paradise, Emerson reminded us, if we think that we can find anything far off that we could not find at home.

More than 13,000 Malaysians travel to the U.K. to study in British universities every year.

I was taught that the middle lane was the one you travel on. The left is for passing. The right is for on and off.

I don't spend money on anything except food and gas.

My first job was a musical, and I had quite an interesting and varied career in the theatre and television long before the Gold Blend ad came along.
