I love...

Everything is different.

Every telephone wire is different here.

Every building, the angle of the sun, it's being in a museum.

So anyway, over there, what was really interesting is I met a lot of different people from all different kinds of realms.

There is a plain spokenness in Scotland that just doesn't exist among the people that I usually hang out with here.

Because here we're usually like, you're just describing, well, if so-and-so does this, then they're aligned with that.

And if they're aligned with that, that means that.

And over there, a lot of conversations were much more like, that's a rock, don't trip over it.

This is what I think about when I'm making a show.

I always think, I don't want to make an about episode.

I want to make an of episode.

I feel like way too many of us are spending way too much time doing about thinking.

What do I think about this as opposed to what am I?

What am I doing?

What am I accomplishing?

And you can decide that as an individual.

The problem is once it gets up into the corporate realm where we are all as individuals,

Anybody who thinks that Twitter is their friend because it provides an open platform to do this and that, yes, that's partly true.

Most people by now understand that we are the product to a large degree.
