Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.
If you make listening and observation your occupation you will gain much more than you can by talk.
I always find it kind of embarrassing, kind of funny, and kind of exciting. In New York I'm recognized a lot, although nobody says anything. You know, they stare at you just a second too long. But in Paris it's not as commonplace to be recognized.
