Other people might not think it is, but I find it a real effort doing a self-tape in the first place. But I was doing a self-tape for something else. And so my friend did just read the lines. Just have fun. Let's just try and do it.

I don't know. I mean, there probably was a level of insouciance or attitude about not feeling right for this and like, you know, without using it as a succession word, F you for making me audition for this when I, you know, I'm not right for this. Like that's a bit shiv to be honest.

Are there similarities? Yeah. Yeah, there are similarities. I mean, very different in terms of the specificity required for Dorian and the fluidity allowed in succession.
