And then at the end of the day, I decide what I'm going to do tomorrow, get everything organized so that I can do it tomorrow. I don't have a long-term vision. I don't have a goal.

I just do the best job I can do now, and then tomorrow I'm going to do the best job I can do then. And things happen along the way. And I think if you're looking at your goals, first of all, the goals are the wrong goals because things happen along the way that you would never have imagined.

like television coming along. I mean, I would never have imagined being on television. It just wouldn't have occurred to me. And it turned out to be a great thing. So I don't have those long-term goals. And I think it leaves people, it left me at least to do a really good job because I'm not busy looking around. I'm just doing a good job on what I have in front of me.

And it's, I mean, in my show, Be My Guest, it's been really interesting because so many of the people who are guests have had something really horrible happen to them. And...
