Quote/Unquote
"I have learned that I'm not the thickest person out there, nor the smartest, the tallest, the biggest, the strongest -- but I do believe in hustling. Just like the kids on this show -- when you have this kind of opportunity, you have got to do everything in your power to capitalize on it, not be lazy; try and make good decisions." -- "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, on the secret to his success, in OK! Weekly.
"Not being gracious. You take a girl out to dinner and she doesn't seem like she appreciates it or doesn't say thank you." -- Jess Metcalfe ("Desperate Housewives") on his girlfriend "deal breaker," in People.
'Roadtrip Nation'
"So, what do you want to do with your life?"
Sooner or later, the question confronts nearly every young person. And pre-packaged answers abound. "You should be a lawyer, a doctor, an accountant, a consultant . . . ."
But there is another option. Set your own course. Explore the path not yet taken. Hit the open road and find your true calling ...somewhere between rest stops.
That's the philosophy that drives "Roadtrip Nation" -- a grassroots movement that encourages students to hit the road in search of interviews with people who have designed their own routes through life: entrepreneurs, entertainers, scientists, artists -- eclectic individuals who have resisted pressures to conform and who have become successful by following their own paths.
This movement has spawned a fast-moving, free-spirited documentary series that follows the adventures and discoveries of roadtripping students as they criss-cross the nation in search of enlightenment.
"Roadtrip Nation," premieres Sept. 1 at 9:30 p.m. on PBS.
