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.

One curious thing about growing up is that you don't only move forward in time; you move backwards as well, as pieces of your parents' and grandparents' lives come to you.

The road was new to me, as roads always are, going back.

By the time I turned 18, I moved into a little chalet of my own and felt very grown-up.

I have this sense that I didn't really start growing up until my twenties.

In the early 2000s, I was going through a lot. I didn't have my head screwed on right. Where I was at as a man, I was still growing up.

'On the Road' completely changed the way I looked at what you could do with your life.

My adolescence was a kind of motorway pile-up. I wish I had known that one day the geek would inherit the Earth.
