Can you find that that's a humorous thing instead of a tragic thing?

Can you come back?

Can you lose friends along the way?

Can you come back?

So you don't really realize...

This is a business, if you look at it, think about how many people we've lost.

When I started writing this book, I started thinking to myself, where's Luther?

Where's Michael?

I want to tell you more stories about Prince.

But it's not fair because in certain cases, I want him to be here to laugh with the joke too.

Yeah.

And so then you start realizing, damn, this is lucky.

This is really blessed time now because I'm in rare survival air, if you will.

I'm still here at 200 years old talking about my career, but I'm telling the story.

If you talk to the person themselves, that was a learning experience.

So you keep thinking, oh, my God, what did you do when that happened?

And you go, no, no, no, no, no, I needed that.

Because I wouldn't have been to the next person if I had not experienced that.

Because it's like trying to go to scrimmage before a big game.

You're with your team.
