You always have your mind, and you can always recontextualize anything at any given time.

And so I think that's how I lead my life.

I like to, you know, there's a scene out of the airplane movie.

I don't know if you guys remember this movie, Airplane, by the Zucker Brothers, right?

There was a moment where one of the air traffic controllers was handed a piece of paper, and the person said, what can you make of this?

Anything can be anything at any given time.

You don't have to accept things for face value.

And so because of that, I do things that I really enjoy that may not necessarily exist, but I try to bring them out if I can.

So I'd like to show you an element of improvisation that I would like to show you, as I've just said.

All right, so we're at this station right here, and I'm going to start by doing something like this.

Now because this is looping, it gives me time to think about what I want to do next.

So if you're ever in a situation where you really hate where you're working, just realize that you're constantly improvising.

Even when you have to go to reach a pencil for a pencil on the desk, you're still thinking about how you're going to pick up that pencil.

Sometimes it's a huge ordeal.
