Oh, fix your life completely because there's another question. It's just questions you're asking yourself. And the amazing thing is once you start doing stories – that's why I like doing a lot of original franchises.

Like, I just made this guy's destiny happen. And I can give him a good outcome or a bad outcome. It's in my control. And you realize you can do that with your own life.

And when you realize you've got that power, you can make literally anything happen. And you realize art and life should be the same. You know, so many people, I was telling this story to somebody and they said, wow, you're really positive. And that kind of makes a lot of sense.
