So it was a flattering way of putting it.

I don't believe in bad guys.

I mean, the monster that I did in Dune was a bad guy.

You might say that.

But in like human beings, we have problems because they are nuanced, real humans.

And they're flawed.

They're sad and they're comic and they're everything.

Well, I just got a stroke.

I mean, my wife sort of noticed something on me, and my son, who was a doctor, he said that you should go to the hospital.

And it was a stroke.

It was a rather mild stroke.

I lost some muscles in my right side of my body, and I lost some part of my brain.

I have a bigger problem if I'm presenting a long thought chain, like if I'm having a political discussion or anything.

I mean, I lose my bearing in the middle of it and just go quiet.

But other than that, maybe some balance problems, but other than that, I was fine.

Well, the thing is I've always had difficulties learning lines in a way.

If I didn't sort of have them –

It's tailored to my feelings.

But the way I totally forgot lines immediately now.

And I discovered that I sort of was lying in bed in a hospital and I was trying to test myself if I could remember the lines.
