Can I do my version of the kinds of questions you've been asking me?

How do you think evil works in the world?

Where do you think evil comes from?

The last question for this time. What should I go away and... think about in preparation for when we talk again?

All right. I think that is something for me to think about for next time.

After the break, Denzel and I sit down in person, and he digs a little deeper into this moment in his career.

Thank you for giving me another run of this. I appreciate it. Thank you. And so we're in this rehearsal space where you're working on Othello. How are the rehearsals going so far?

So that's helpful for me because I really felt like I was flailing. But at the end of our conversation, I had asked you if there was anything that maybe I could reflect on before we spoke again. And you told me this very short little parable about a man standing at the edge of the water.

Yeah. But the way I was thinking about that parable was that I felt like in our first conversation, I was too stuck in my own head, wrapped up in expectations of how the conversation was supposed to go rather than just being with you in the moment, you know, and sort of meeting you where you were.

But my question also is, where did you learn that lesson that sometimes you just got to jump in the water rather than think about the water?
