Two hands, three hands. I couldn't believe it. It's like, man, you got, if there's anything I'm going to part on you is journal. Your life is way more interesting than you think because it's not going to feel like anything while it's going by. But in retrospect, you look back. Like I can just go through, I keep a journal. One file per year. So I started a new one in 2025.

If I want to look up, like I'm going to do a director's chair episode. I look up Michael Mann, Michael Mann, Michael Mann. All the conversations we had since 94 that I wrote down that I felt, and it's like, oh my God, I can't believe we said that. That's how I knew about that thing with Quentin.
