In your opinion, of course. Not all people are blinded by the big payday, and if Johnny's mother places more importance on something other than money, money, money, then who are we to disagree? Life is a journey and I expect all she wants is for Johnny to be safe and enjoy the ride.

Anyway it's her son and her opinion and she's entitled to it. It seems the greatest crime she committed was to voice it to a reporter during an interview.
