"On the Road speeds by like a freight train. It’s all movement and words and lusty instincts that come alive like you’re riding on a train. Kerouac moves so fast with his words. No ambiguity. It was very emblematic of the time. You grabbed a hold of the train, hopped on and went along with him, hanging on for dear life."

"On a big road trip, I read it out loud to my wife, she read it out loud to me. Then we got the audio book and we listened to Steve Martin read it"

"Of course, Revolutionary Road made quite an impact on me. But these stories are exquisite. Yates' understanding of the human psyche in the day and age in which he lived, the confines and conflicts of expected norms, and the turmoil which they generated, is excruciating yet mesmerizing."

"The classic Jack Kerouac On the Road is every teenager’s bible to escape the rigors and the boredom of the “straight” world, to expand their horizons, and to question authority and what it dictates is appropriate and normal societal behavior. But most of all, it represents true freedom!"

"A fifth one, that’s tough. What’s a go-to? So many great things out there. The Iron Giant‘s pretty terrific. When you’ve been on the road for a while, and you’re lonely… yeah, that film makes me cry. I love that movie. [laughs]"
