QUOTE UNQUOTE
“I would probably live in a tent if I could have a private plane at the ready to go wherever I wanted to go. I think the only thing that keeps me from more travel is going through terminals and having cell phones pointed at me, waiting for me to pick my nose for it to go on TMZ. And to go through a private terminal and get up in the sky, I don't care how long we're up there, I love it.”
— actor and activist Sean Penn
