Why haven't you got kids?

And I don't come out with some erudite, clear answer.

I just go, hmm.

I usually ask them a question about something.

Why are you married?

Why do you have kids?

Or just, you know, why don't you plant more trees?

But you know, it's something that I have wanted to do, but I have never wanted to do it for the sake of it.

And I feel like I've helped lots of friends with their kids, you know.

Yeah, that's a very moving thought.

I do get a lot of packages of books that have been made by kids with the characters, but with their own words.

And that breaks me up because they're so honest.

Will I ever not be ugly, said the mom.

You're beautiful, said, you know, all this stuff, you know, going.

I don't, I don't, I don't think about it too hard about why I just, I tend to just play what's in front of me.

If you know what I mean by that, like life presents itself and you just take each day and do your best.

And I think for me, there could have been times that there weren't, and that's, that's fine.

And you are right.

I think maybe I wouldn't have had the time.

You know, because actually making those books and their journey to making them is not simple.
