No, you sort of know. Okay. You kind of know if it's really bad. You kind of know. It's the ones where you think like, oh, this is right on the edge. I don't know. I don't think this is terrible. I think it's pretty good. I don't know how good it is. You never know how good it is. But you know how bad it is. That's something you can't run away from. That makes sense.

I think, well, I did a production of The Crucible a long time ago with Liam Neeson that Arthur Miller was actually involved in. And before I accepted the job, I was offered Goody Proctor, and I thought, oh, for fuck's sake, who wants to do The Crucible? Oh, God, you know, ye buckle shoes and ye oldies speak. Oh, for God's sake.

And I called my dad, and I was like, I've been offered Goody Proctor, and I don't know, I don't know if I'm, and he was like, oh, no. He was like, you do that. You must do that. He's like, it is a great play. And it's only because we've all seen nine-hour high school productions of that play that it's sort of, you know, it's badly represented. Not that it shouldn't be done there. It should.

I've never been someone who feels a big boost from any one job. I really haven't. Wow. I think it's been very subtle and consistent, and I'll take that. Thank you. I mean, that's fine by me.
