We're not just making 'Marco Polo,' we're living it. Because we traveled to Venice... Kazakhstan... into the jungles of Malaysia.

I feel that Marco Polo has really been misrepresented - has never really gotten his due.

It all goes back to 'Wow, I never knew this about Marco Polo.' This is an incredible story and an incredible character, and such a rich world of Mongolian and Chinese culture.

He was an Italian kid traveling in China, and I'm of Italian decent with a fascination for China. So, I always felt this connection to him and lived vicariously through the travels of Marco Polo.

Don't let making a living prevent you from making a life.

I've traveled more this year than any other living human being, and if I'd traveled any more I wouldn't be living.
