And I nearly, because I nearly didn't do it.

I nearly really didn't do it.

And if I hadn't have put that wig on, if I hadn't have come back to myself and I hadn't have been able to ground myself and have the technique to come back to myself, I would have not done a good job on a hair.

I don't know what I would have done.

There was 10 minutes and I wouldn't be here now.

I wouldn't have written the book.

I wouldn't be in America.

I would still be in Leicester.

You really think that defining moment was everything?

Believing a version of myself that I was told 100% without a doubt.

Because you're only as good as your last gig, and that was my gig.

That was my chance.

That was my chance.

Yeah, and it wasn't in an arrogant way.

Like, I was 30 years old.

I spent my whole life learning my craft, and I didn't know what I was doing.

And I was like, this is what I thought.
