Sometimes everyone needs a little space to themselves.

When I was a teenager, everybody spent a lot of time talking about how much our hometown sucked. "It's boring, there's nothing to do." I thought it was fine.

One of my favorite authors, Kazuo Ishiguro, just won the Nobel Prize in Literature. One of his best-known novels is The Remains Of The Day. It’s about an English butler who reflects on his loyalty to his employer who has died. It was adapted into an Oscar-nominated movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.
