• The problem is when you become so well known that everyone is watching you and you don't have an opportunity to observe. It's something that I don't want to lose.

Something that I've always loved and appreciated is the chance to see something about someone's character, observe and kind of retain it, and study it without feeling like I'm studying it. I have an intense curiosity. And it would be a shame if I lose the ability to do that.
