And that's what saved me was the riding because I just got so fit.

And so I got fit, but I got tired and I got hungry.

So when I get home, I'd eat.

And I'd sleep because I was fucked because I'd be, you know, I was going for it.

It wasn't like I was on the gear, you know, hour after hour because you didn't have to when, like, the stuff that I had was, like, proper, pure.

So it's just like you just didn't need to keep doing it, right?

So that's what it was.

And it wasn't like that you get high or anything.

It just enabled you to do everything, you know, like you could achieve all the shit you wanted to do in your day.

It just so happened that I just wanted to ride my bike and train and –

Fuck.

Is that all right?

Yeah.

And so how did you get off?

So, like, I was funny.

Like, Julie Christy asked me to do a show.

I think it was Treasure Island in Fiji.

And I was like, okay, cool, no worries.

So I just stopped because I can stop like that.

I don't have an addictive personality, but like if it's around, like I'll do it.
