When I stop becoming, that's when I worry.
And one day we will die and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea. But for now we are young; let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see.
The world is this incredibly blurry, crazy dream that I'm just sort of stumbling through.

So I think it's like a full-on assault. We've stalled in many different directions and it kept us in the limelight for so many years.
