But you don't want to focus on that. You just go like, okay, I got it through. Because when you're up there... It's not that you're screaming nervous, but your hands just won't work anymore. Something will happen. But that happens to everybody. If you really watch even the best in their live performances, watch really close, and you see they screw up a couple things, but you just want to notice.

They just go right through it. It's about the live performance, and that's how you know it's real. So I think if you can really just lean into it more, really work on the identity part, because you've got the desire. You want to play guitar. But as soon as you say... Yeah, but I can't play live. You just chopped off your leg at the start of the race. You say, I don't know.

You just chopped off your leg at the start of the race. You say, I don't know.

You just chopped off your other leg. You're doing this to yourself. You're literally doing this to yourself. I mean, just you. I mean, anybody who pauses, who hesitates. You don't have to have doubts. Why would you have a doubt? Because you know the process now. It's like, if I don't know how to do something, I know how to figure it out.

Like, I didn't know how I was going to do that scene with him jumping and flipping. I didn't know that. But do I have doubt that I'm going to go in there and be able to do it? If you say that you do, now you're a doubtful person. That's how powerful that is. But if you say, no, I don't have any doubt because I know I'm going to figure it out when I get there, somehow it'll fall in my lap.

I trust the process. You don't have to, you don't have to know. So if you trust the process that you'll figure it out.

I trust the process. You don't have to, you don't have to know. So if you trust the process that you'll figure it out.

I trust the process. You don't have to, you don't have to know. So if you trust the process that you'll figure it out.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. And then what happens? Right. Don't blink. Don't blink. And then you go sift through the failure. Yeah, exactly. You go, wait a minute. What did I get out of that? Yeah. I've done that a bunch. It was great. What's the worst that can happen? You go on a stage and you bomb. It's not going to be the first stage.

And it's one of those you can talk about so that when you do the next one and it all, sometimes they all go right. I've had a couple of shows. We did a couple of shows. We had video cameras set up for the second day. I said, let's not film the first day because we're going to be just finding our feet. Let's film the second day. First day, it was fucking flawless. Flawless because no cameras.
