A major league pitching coach is a really difficult job. It takes a big commitment in terms of time, travel and workload.

I’d like to be able to travel anywhere in an instant.

I remember the first time I felt that I was sharing the stage with someone spectacular was dancing with Beyonce. It was the dancers, the band, Beyonce and me in front of thousands of people. That was sick. It was pretty amazing that I got to travel the world with someone like her.

When I began writing that I was able and did travel and met some fascinating people and also uncovered some history, which has not been discovered before.

Whenever I travel anywhere, I’m constantly asked if I’m Swedish. It’s the burden of most Norwegians. The Swedes have just got a better publicity agent, I think.

I think it’s important to travel around in order to get a notion of what’s going on, to find out what people are think about. I enjoy talking on campuses most because people are more informed and discussion is generally livelier.

People think I’m crazy because I travel too much, but I haven’t been doing any of that lately because I got a little sick this year and I’ve tried to take care of it.

I used to travel in tennis shoes I am just not allowed to anymore. I’m an old hippie from San Francisco.

As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family, so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.

As a general rule, I don’t plan to travel with my Oscars, but we may have to make an exception.
