I think you hone it and hone it. You keep folding the samurai. You keep honing it and what you like. And what I like is no interference and only doing things I absolutely love. So I want to do less and less and just more of the thing that I absolutely love. And that's come down to, I suppose, if I'm doing sitcom, it's just doing the... And no compromise. No compromise.

And every single step of the way is absolutely as I wanted it. So it's more and more, how do I get to that?
