And then the matches are different when they really hate each other. But you never know when it is. So there's a sense of, and I think it's more honest than any other form of any other sport or any other form of entertainment.

It's something that I've experienced before I knew what it was. So when I say it's like... I feel like it has to do with the purity of the intention behind what you're doing.

And I've come to realize that great means it's a devotional kind of greatness.
