Yes.

Yeah, and I don't think there's anything wrong with really appreciating people.

That concern of hero worship is legitimate because I think there are some people that will take a person and change who they are and make them not just extraordinary but not even human.

Yeah, that's a mistake.

It is a mistake, but it doesn't mean you can't love and deeply appreciate who they actually are, flaws and all.

Because that's what we all are.

And when someone is extraordinary and they have gone through so much or they have expressed so much and they do resonate with you so much, that's a valuable person.

And you should treat them like they're a valuable person.

It's not necessarily hero worship.

It's just appreciation.

There's also the terror of someone you deeply admire not liking your idea.

Yeah, he was, I mean, you think about what he did and all the different songs that he performed and movies he was in and different things that he did.

For a person that watches movies, I've done a small amount of acting, but...

I'm not good at it.

For a person who watches movies, there's a thing that happens, like a hypnosis, when someone is a really good actor, where they become that person.

And even though I know it's Ethan Hawke, I know it's fill in the blank, Daniel Day-Lewis, I know who it is, but it's not them at this moment.

They're so good that they've convinced me that they're this other person.

What is that?

Because there are moments where I see a good actor and I say, I don't believe them.

I think they're phoning it in.
