Driver: Don't miss the boat... I feel like my transport should be an extension of my personality. Voila! And this? This is my little window to the world. And every minute, it's a different show. Now, I may not undestand it. I may not even necessarily agree with it. but I'll tell you what, I accept it and just sort of glide along. You want to keep things on an even keel I guess is what I'm saying. You want to go with the flow. The sea refuses no river. The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure while always whle always arriving. Saves on introductions and goodbyes. The ride doesn't require an explanation. Just occupants. That's where you guys come in. It's like you come out onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the 8-pack, you may get the 16-pack. But it's all in what you do with the crayons, the colors that you're given. Don't worry about drawing within the lines or coloring outside the lines. I say color outside the lines. Color right off the page. Don't box me in. We're in motion to the ocean. We are not landlocked, I'll tell you that. So, where do you want out?
Passenger 1: Um I don't know. Really, anywhere is fine.
Driver: Well just give me an address or something, okay?
Passenger 2: Tell you what, go up three more streets; take a right, go two more blocks, drop this guy off on the next corner.
Passenger 1: Where's that?
Driver: I don't know either, but it's somewhere, and it's gonna determine the course of the rest of your life. All ashore that's going ashore!

"The more you talk about a person as a social construction... or as a confluence of forces... or as fragmented or marginalized, what you do is you open up a whole new world of excuses."
"It might be true that there are six billion people in the world and counting. Nevertheless, what you do makes a difference. It makes a difference first of all in material terms. Makes a difference to other people and it sets an example. In short, the message here, I think is, that we should never simply write ourselves off... and see ourselves as the victim... of various forces. It's always our decision who we are."
