I feel a kinship with anyone who feels that their road, their life or who they really are is not good enough. I really relate to that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The road hasn't always been paved for me. People identify with that. Everybody passes through hard times, and I think that's part of my appeal - that I have, too.
I admire anyone that follows the road less travelled.
People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost.
It's funny that I got to do 'On the Road' because the thing that had the biggest impact on me growing up was reading books. I was very inspired by the book and this spirit of Dean Moriarty and how envious we all are of somebody who can be that carefree.
I grew up on a dirt road in Maine, and pretty much everybody on that dirt road was related to me, and they were old. And so grumpy.
The road is a lonely place, and that sounds like a cliche, you know, like what is my life?
When I'm done with all of this, I'm going to write a book on it: have a guide to having a life and being on the road. Especially having a family and being on the road.
It hasn't been a totally smooth road, but in the whole span of things I feel like a very lucky person.
Seven and half years ago I began my own journey. For me and my family it was a time of adversity. But during that adversity I derived a deeper faith. And born out of that adversity was a commitment to devote myself to those people and to those issues that truly matter to me.
I always figure from the cradle to the grave, we all have our individual journeys, and maybe my journey was a positive one and I accomplished certain things without stepping on too many toes.
