6:35
Thing in a certain point you at least. Seem old to loop holes you know wrong on. A little. Girl and.
6:50
So I think that that compulsions has to be there has to be something that you you can doubt all the time that deep down
6:57
inside you know that this is something you have to do
7:00
and you know I think I’ve dealt with some of the adversity some of the challenges of which we’ve had many you know I
7:07
started a band in the world laughter. And we’ve had an incredible life as a result.
7:18
So if I had listened to the choir the chorus of reverence I would have stopped because that’s what people want for some
7:27
reason some people would rather live your dreams and. I don’t know what that is.
7:37
You know I think it’s important to be stubborn and to be the least so. Look look. Look. I.
8:16
Want to do something I’ve never done before and I don’t know but I. Want to be.
