Is it my time now?
Because that question is important.
But the question that we are really asking is, am I ready?
Have I got something to share?
Because that fermentation, that long process of creating work that means something,
That impact, as long as it takes to make, is going to be also tripled with the impact that's going to come after this.
Because it's possible to do things quickly, but as quickly as those things come, they also go.
So when you think about the process of movie making, how many years sometimes it takes to make a movie, sometimes decades.
And it's admirable how those people don't let go because they believe in something they've got, because it's the personal reasons, that expression, that you can't fake.
You can shortcut things because we have created so many patterns that we can recognize in making work easier.

It's absolute blast.
And somehow at that time, I think I read it about 15 years ago, and I remember reading about the fact that they were turning into a movie.
And it's taken 20 years to turn into a movie.
I'm not sure why they put James Corden in it, but that's another question.
These things take a lot of time and it's just like believe and believe and believe because that journey, as you say, what you put now into your work, more thematic, more emotionally have, like those things come with time and I feel they come with more reward because you immerse yourself in the meaning, in the purpose, in the discovery of who you are and what questions you're asking of yourself that you can transfer onto the medium.
So, this is what you quite eloquently described as your personal experience of, okay, what is the next thing?
I was actually personally asking you what is the thing about, what is the outcome of the work, of the creative expression, but the way you've taken it links it back to my book, Daring Forever, which is about the role of our brain in pursuing these things, because
As humans, we don't really understand who we are, how we are hardwired, what's the vehicle that we've been given.
