QUOTES
- Billy: I go to all of these small towns often and it seems like there isn’t much there. That’s how it was where I grew up. You walked the railroad tracks or walked down to the store or sat in your backyard. It’s all a part of the slow life. You aren’t battling 20 red lights and horns and sirens and having to get from job to job. edit »
- Billy: I’ve never been to a town where I didn’t see a concrete truck. I always remember doing that work and am so thankful that I don’t do that anymore. I’m not above it, it’s just not what I love. I love what I’m doing now. I am so thankful that I get to do what I love. edit »
- Billy: The bigger and better is nice. The hotels are nice and visiting different countries is great. But I always try to picture it at the end. When you are 80, what are you really going to want? What’s really going to matter? It’s not a lot of materialistic things for me. It’s just maybe a front porch, a couple of rocking chairs, a simple life. edit »
