More From Yann Martel

I've stayed in so many hotel rooms that i'm shocked if, when i stay in a hotel room, the hotel phone isn't on the desk. then i'm like, "this isn't a real hotel room." if there's not outlets next to the desk, or if they have an iphone adapter for an iphone 4, that's when i'm sitting there annoyed. i understand that it's ridiculous, but that's just me spending way too much time in hotels.
Real Iphone Phones
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.
Writing Airplane Airports
While we were shooting the movie, we shot in the actual hotel in hong kong where it all went down, the mira hotel. laura poitras was coming to hong kong to do a screening of citizenfour, and she ended up staying at the mira hotel. it was her first time back in hong kong, and i ran into her in the elevator. literally i had just finished shooting one day, and i came back to the hotel and she was in the elevator.
One Day Hong Kong Firsts
She left me the way people leave a hotel room. a hotel room is a place to be when you are doing something else. of itself it is of no consequence to one's major scheme. a hotel room is convenient. but its convenience is limited to the time you need it while you are in that particular town on that particular business; you hope it is comfortable, but prefer, rather, that it be anoymous. it is not, after all, where you live.
Life People Needs
Oh, my ways are strange ways and new ways and old ways, and deep ways and steep ways and high ways and low, i'm at home and at ease on a track that i know not, and restless and lost on a road that i know.
Wisdom Travel Home
When i think about what makes canada great, fresh water is right at the top of the list. we have over two million lakes in this country and more than enough people who are willing to mess with them. my canada includes weird scientists who are devoted to keeping our water clean. when we stand up and we sing o canada, we pledge to stand on guard for thee. if that doesn't include our water, we might as well sit down and give up.

Similar Quotes
In the country the darkness of night is friendly and familiar, but in a city, with its blaze of lights, it is unnatural, hostile and menacing. it is like a monstrous vulture that hovers, biding its time.
Country Night Light
It's not necessarily a brave thing, people talk about what they think about. there's people out there who love to talk about politics or where they think the countries headed. i don't talk about that i talk about...things that are a little trippier.
Country Thinking People
It's no go the picture palace, it's no go the stadium, it's no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums. it's no go the government grants, it's no go the elections, sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.
Country Government Years
We have two parties who are basically hijacking our country for their corporate paymasters. and if we focus on 535 members of congress, that's not all that many, we're going to see a fast turnaround. so focus all your concerns, all the information, the kind of agenda the green party has. turn it right on your senators and representatives.
