As I mentioned to you, Clive James, a great Australian, in a sense, cultural critic, when he observed my sweaters, he said, well, that's very good, Giles.

A jumper, very good substitute for an act.

a moment gray and i want this to be the first thing that comes into your head okay there's no there's no lord no falling back blue oh you're gonna ask a question gray is your name okay okay okay okay gray okay you've got to answer this a moment of joy in your life particularly maybe from your earlier years

Good.

And a moment of sadness.

And how do you cope with sadness?

You just take it in your stride.

So the last question is this.

That's the technique.

I'm trying to trick you.

I'm trying to be the journalist in the face of the editor.

I want you to feel I'm a good journalist.

I'm seeking your approval, Gray.

Okay, perfect.

So that when it's over, you say, not bad.

Gray, what has life taught you?

Well, you've left Rosebud better than you found it.

It does that very much.

I am very thrilled that you jumped on today.

Me too.
