That's what the American odyssey is really about: Leaving home. Leaving home and coming home, and trying to understand the difference.
Tom Bodett
Like most Alaska immigrants, my roots continue to petition for equal time.

I'm real. I believe what I'm saying. If Motel 6 wasn't the type of operation they say it is - and I stay at them when I travel - I wouldn't do their commercials. That comes through on the radio, and that's what it's all about.
Tom Bodett
I come from very common stock, and I've always been uncomfortable with pretension and all the forms it can take, including disingenuous broadcasting.

Tom Bodett

Tom Bodett
People feel vulnerable when they travel. Nobody wants to be taken advantage of or talked into something they don't want. Staying at Motel 6 makes you feel smarter. In fact, I think it actually means you are smarter, but I have no hard data to support that.
Tom Bodett
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh.
Tom Bodett
Mine is not a story to tell struggling writers.
