| On those, I've said it before, I work free. It's the waiting they pay me for. |
| I'm a parent, especially when you've had the intense parenting the way I had. It's all in the bank. It's all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That's the stuff that makes your work rich, that's what you dip into. |
