I have to leave the house.
Yeah, it just would not be acceptable by my standards to do a book on Kanye West where...
I'm either in my apartment in Melbourne or even I'm just wandering around Melbourne.
I have to get there and bumble around.
Were you hoping to find him somehow and talk to him?
Yeah, at the start I was, but it's a blessing because if I would have found him, I wouldn't have gone in the mansion.
But I just think from my point of view, I just think it's

It's more fun than John Safran upbraided him.
He's got a lot of ideas that he then abandoned.
So maybe you are like, oh, I'm going to build a shelf and then you...
start building and then you just, oh, okay, fine.
And then you just leave it.
