Solitude is for me a fount of healing which makes my life worth living.
I don't know how anyone gets anything done in New York City. I vastly prefer living in the country. I just need a lot of quiet and solitude, and I'm so easily distracted. I mean, the Internet is enough to deal with.
I thought I'd finally get to relax with Dimitri.
I live by myself, which I love. In this industry, you're so often surrounded by people and busy and talking to people. It's kind of lovely when you get home to just chill out.
Miles from nowhere. Guess I'll take my time.
I only said, 'I want to be left alone.'
Hobbits are an unobtrusive but very ancient people, more numerous formerly than they are today; for they love peace and quiet and good tilled earth: a well-ordered and well-farmed countryside was their favourite haunt.
Silence, nothing is better.
her spirits wanted the solitude and silence which only numbers could give.
My favourite country is Finland because once you get to a certain point, you can drive for hours without seeing a single person. I love peace and quiet - something I don't get very often.

I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.
I have a "Do Not Disturb" sign on my hotel door. It's time to go to "Don't Disturb". It's been "Do Not" for too long. We should embrace the contraction.

All I want is blackness. Blackness and silence.
Time and silence are the most luxurious things today.
A period of silence on your part would be welcome.
I ain't quiet.. everybody else is too loud.
I tend to have to just get away from it all, so it is nice when touring to be able to come home for a week or two and close the door and not really see anybody.
Quiet is the absence of sound. Silence is the presence of silence.
