Celebrity Travel: Go Away With Lucas Neff
A. If they say don't drink the water, don't drink the water. Though, at Bath (England), they say don't touch the water, and you absolutely should.
Q. Have you traveled to a place that stood out so much that you felt compelled to incorporate it into your work somehow?
A. I think everything gets incorporated into my work at some point. There's very little in life that doesn't merit inclusion in my mind. It's all relevant. It's all your life. Having said that, Israel keeps leaping to the tip of my tongue right now, though I'm at a loss to think of a time I used it in my work. It's uniquely fraught and uncomfortably dense with historical and religious tensions. Perhaps that lends it some theatrical power.
Q. Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A. San Francisco is a beautiful place to spend a few days. And Canada isn't that far either. I've yet to go south to Mexico for a quick jaunt, but I know for plenty of my friends, that's their default hideaway.
Q. What are your favorite hotels?
A. You cannot go wrong with the Mandarin in any city. Always gorgeous. Just a perfectly conceived and executed hotel experience. In Chicago, the Peninsula is a really nice, extremely luxurious decision.
Q. What are your five favorite cities?
A. In no particular order and completely subject to change: London. New York. Los Angeles. Paris and Tel Aviv.
Q. Where have you traveled to that most reminded you of home?
