I'm doing both, I think.

It doesn't feel like work, so I feel like I'm hardly working, but I'm actually working hard.

But I think that's why purpose helps you work without feeling it.

When I think back to my early days, I would probably describe myself as having an unlucky start to life.

But I think luck is a strange thing.

Sometimes luck can be perspective.

But my father died and I found myself three weeks later homeless.

And I did what the system told me to do.

The system tells you, go get a job.

You can get a job.

Or the system tells you if you can't, and I couldn't get a job, by the way, because I don't have a national insurance number and I didn't have an address.

So no one will give me a job.

And so then the system tells you go to social benefit, go get social security money and they'll give you a home and it will be fine.

So I went to the social benefit system and they just basically said no.

In fact, they said, I think, which is kind of worse than no.

They're like, no, because...

there are six other people in front of you that all have kids and they need housing first.

And in my head, as a 15-year-old, I thought I was a fully grown man and I totally understood.

I didn't get angry.

No, you've got to give me a place to stay.
