In an interview, Ratay remarked, "In encountering countless people from a multitude of regions, families traveling by car came to recognize that residents of America's various locales may speak in somewhat different ways, dress somewhat differently, and consume different foods, yet ultimately we came to realize that we are never quite so disparate after all."
