Taking on its own life. Earlier you asked about what I perceive to be a shortcut. And a shortcut is... How little can I get away with doing? And I think that the real question is, how much more can I give to the thing I'm making? What else can I give to it? And thinking in terms of how much more can we do, not how much less can we do. it's not about shortcuts. It's not about getting it done.

You know, it's not about a four hour work week. I loved it. You know, I loved it, but that's not, it's like whatever it takes for it to be all it could be, um, commitment and total commitment and dedicating your life to making the best things you can, whatever it is. Yeah.

Doing anything that's within our power, it doesn't have to make sense. Nothing has to make sense. You know, it could be, when I wear these purple socks, I can write a better song. Great. Doesn't matter. Don't question it. Just do whatever works. Do it.

That's beautiful.

That's beautiful.
