And I think this, for entertainment's sake, is just fun. And it's quick. I'm not subjecting you to four hours of watching autism dry. Right. It's like...

There's some dark stuff there that he was able to draw from. And every now and then he'd let it out. I can't even repeat some of the stuff he'd say. In fact, we had to cut most of it out. It was, like, really sick. But we hint at it.

Yeah, there are things that speak to me. And they speak for a long time. It's... I remember when I was a kid in high school, I was studying English. And they said, well, where did the English language come from? And they talked about, wow, it came from this old guttural German, old Norse that the Vikings brought across. And I was thinking, well, that's cool, the Vikings, you know.

And then immediately I start thinking, man, somebody should make โ I want to make a film about Vikings and they only speak in Old Norse because if they say โ if they speak English all of a sudden, you're not buying it. But if they speak in some guttural language, you're sort of scared by them. And it's like that's scary to me. And then I said to myself, I'm 17 years old.

Why am I thinking about making films about Vikings? I don't know anything about making films and not much about Vikings. So why the hell am I even thinking about that?

And there's a power to that.
