RS: Were there lessons you learned traveling and filming with all those people?
Thomas: I would say, probably the simple ones. How happy people are, in general, in most other places in the world [outside the U.S.]. Some just have very simple lives, and their main motivation isn't necessarily predominantly monetary. It's a really harsh contrast... Especially when we'd go off to foreign places, and, coming back home, I'd be thinking, gosh, people are really not that happy here. People, in general, are so motivated by what they need to get, and think what they need to get is going to make them happy. It's like the carrot before the people's, or the horse's, mouth, ya know. I think that's the main thing that I learned, and I think that, I dunno, maybe it's time to move away. Move to one of those places and live a mellower life.
