James Sexton

So I realize I have a set of skills.

Like I'm a very good advocate.

I'm a very good weapon.

Like I can use words to make you cry.

I can use words to make you scared.

I can use words to make you feel safe.

Like I'm good at words because that's the weapon.

That's all I have was words and gestures and, you know, like whatever.

I'm a good storyteller.

My job is full contact storytelling.

Like it's hard enough to be a good storyteller, but be a good storyteller while someone else is trying to stop you from telling the story and tell the opposite story.

Like then you've gotta be really good, you know?

And I don't know why I have a God-given talent at this.

Like I'm good at it.

I'm really good in the courtroom.

I'm good at this very strange amalgam of skills you have to have to extemporaneously speak in this very specific kind of way.

Plus I'm really good, I've memorized the rules of evidence.

Like I'm, you know, I have a very weird specific skillset.

That, to me, I feel like I want to be of service while I'm here.

I don't know.
