I still find writing is hard.
Like it never gets really easy, but performing is just a whole other skill that
that uh you don't know if you have until you're doing it like it's it's really hard to work at you can get better for sure like you can work at acting you can work like it's a skill you can develop but you also kind of need some spark or something that you don't i don't know what it is but you need something and and and something that comes across on camera that is a little less i don't know definable i don't know oh yeah especially when it's live
Yeah.
I mean, I think whatever else I do in life will feel easier.
Even if I do a movie, I'm like, oh, I can get another take.
It's so liberating.
Like we never get a second shot.
And as a writer too, like you'll write something.
And if there's a, something goes wrong or someone flubs a line or something, there's a technical cue.
You never get to do it again, which is, and so when something actually goes the way you imagine it, you feel like it's a miracle.
Like you pulled it off and.
you know, you're, you're, you're so grateful that it came together.
So as you, as you know, I'm sure there's, you know, there's, and I'm sure, you know, too, there's things you think are going to work and then they don't, they, they, you know, and, and then there's things you're, you're like, I don't know, maybe I'll try it.
And then maybe it was something that surprised you when you hosted that work, you know?
Oh, I, I'm,
That's good.
Yeah, I mean, still.
I mean, I feel like Paul McCartney is someone that's still, even though he's come around a bunch.
He's like a beam of light.
