That's where Mogul Mowgli was, coming from that direct experience.

And the universe brought me Sound of Metal, which was also about an artist going through a health crisis.

You've got to go back there.

You've got to make work from this place.

Yeah, man, I have long, deep history with this critical voice and this shame.

And I really think it can kill you, man.

It's not something that I'm done with.

But I think that critical inner voice just, he's not the guy on the megaphone, but he's a guy who's always going to be at the party.

He's maybe, if I'm lucky, he's at the corner of the party.
