Somebody's willingness to let me photograph them, and willingness to tell me a story, has nothing to do with the words I say.

Everybody says, 'I want to change,' but they're not willing to pay the price of it. That was the metaphor of 'Life's Golden Ticket'... Life is some kind of a ride, and if you want that ride to be exhilarating and amazing, you've got to pay to get in. And the price is a willingness to change above and beyond what most people will do.

There is absolutely no inevitability as long as there is the willingness to think.
