Yeah. So when I grew up in Montana, my big experience there was being on my great grandparents' farm. They had cattle, wheat, and horses. We lived in town where the grocery store was. Town in quotes. Yeah, town. And they lived more in the middle of the state and they lived on the farm in a much more rural environment. And that's where a lot of my exploring happened. But we were also skiers.

Mind you, do I ski now? No. Do I ride a dirt bike now? No. Do I fish? No. But I have all of those things inside of me. They really were formative in my ideas about who I could be. So that when you're sitting in class and you're next to some jerky guy who's trying to stick his finger in your nose, you're like, no, no, no, no, no. I know myself to be worth more than this.

That was my whole childhood. Every day was come back when you hear the dinner bell. And we were free to do whatever we wanted as long as we came home when we heard the dinner bell. And so it gave us so much time to meander and explore and go down these dirt roads and ride bikes and discover little things and find treasures and take them home and hide them and then...

take them out in the middle of the night when they thought that we were sleeping and, you know, just getting into good trouble. And I miss it so much for my own children. I'm constantly thinking about how to create these experiences. But as you know, it's difficult. It requires a lot of infrastructure and undertaking if you live in an urban environment to try and get them out.

You're starting acting. You have to start to storytell with the landscape too. What is that abandoned house? We shouldn't go in it. There's probably a witch. Yeah. Ooh, yeah. There's a witch that lives in that house. And then that becomes part of the play and part of the fantasy. But it just requires tremendous boredom, tremendous freedom, and a total lack of supervision.
