Yes. This is that radical forgiveness thing that I think plays into it. Kate turned me on to it more than I'd been aware of it. But I was always aware that I might get hanged dog once in a while. I get some bad advice from somebody and go, never going to do this. Never, never going to happen. Sort of, you know, shoot myself down there. But there was always that thing in me that goes like.

And yes, I bear your name. But I want to be known for what I am. And I get that. That's OK. I even applaud it.
