I don't know if I'll do it in another 15 years.

I do get a little bit bored with certain kinds of episodes, so I'm constantly trying to change things up.

I do more series now.

I'm trying to do more series that are a little bit more like writing a book.

Doing a series right now on Handel's Messiah, that piece of music that I happen to love.

Yes.

You also have a taste for novelty.

Everybody does, right?

Me in particular.

I'm a novelty junkie.

With that attitude, you would be a very good golfer.

Because most golfers were pretty terrible.

We'd try our best, we'd get better, but it's really hard.

But then you hit that one shot.

And you go to bed at night and you just think about how it smelled, how it felt, looking at the ball in the light.

And then you still were sucky that day.

I would argue that's kind of what life is, though.

It's like a lot of what we all go through.

It's not what we'd want to do.

But you go through it because you need to and you're living your life, supporting your family, etc.
