I think one of the things I learned from writing the book, and I hadn't really thought about it before, is that I always do what's in front of me today. I do the best job I can possibly do on it. 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 don't think, oh, I want to get over there in a year. I don't have a five-year plan. I never did either.

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.

He really is. Hi, Jeffrey. I mean, it really means something bad happens, and you don't know whether it's bad. It could turn out to be the best thing that ever happened. That's right.

It opens to something else that wouldn't have happened. 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...
