Kornel told:
"This poem is very important to me. (...) Every step leads to the next, so... I actually never regret anything, because you know, because every step leads to the next, and sometimes if I had taken a different path, it seemingly might theoretically have been better, but then you never know what would have resulted later. I particularly like this starting point, that every way leads on to way, right? That there's no return to the starting point later. And just as I said, this poem is often misinterpreted, because here he differentiates between a more trodden road and a less trodden one, that he took that road less trodden, right? Less worn. And that made a difference later in his life. But some interpreters attach to this 'less trodden' that he chose the more difficult road. But this poet Robert Frost said it wasn't about that at all, he simply wanted to differentiate these two roads somehow, so he called one the less trodden. He didn't mean at all that he chose the more difficult one, he simply, well, chose one of them."
