[00:18.64]I talked to them about the necessity
[00:25.10]of having some creativity
[00:29.85]of your own involved in your life,
[00:32.97]and how that can provide you an escape
[00:35.80]from the death sentence of your normal role
[00:38.77]in society that's mapped out for you.
[00:41.34]And I told them that sort of
[00:43.81]what I've tried to do with my life is basically...
[00:45.48]you know,
[00:47.34]my life for me began one day in high school when I thought,
[00:51.63]I don't care what anybody thinks of me
[00:53.95]or how much money I have or anything,
[00:55.58]I just wanna get out of here.
[00:56.93]You know,
[00:58.09]I'm not going to wear a tight collar all my life
[01:00.51]unless I'm in the mood...
[01:01.67]sort of thing.
[01:03.04]And I just sort of talked about the obstacles
[01:07.98]that can get in the way of letting a person
[01:12.17]who just wants to live their own life,
[01:15.04]such as financial insecurity,
[01:17.36]cultural isolation,
[01:20.04]especially in the suburbs,
[01:21.50]you know,
[01:22.31]people just get out of their cushy little boxes
[01:25.29]in the suburbs and kinda die.
[01:28.66]I just feel out of the grid,
[01:33.46]the grid of the world. You know,
[01:35.27]the imposed structure that's the giant voice
[01:39.77]that tells you 'Good morning! It's 630 am!
[01:42.29]Time to get up and listen to the crap-all-over-it show
[01:46.88]with whoever the **** he is, telling me more ********!'
[01:51.16]I like to get out. But no, I do a little...
[01:57.14]you know,
[01:57.88]I just try to keep loose;
[01:58.99]go to bed at night, eat right, mess around,
[02:02.43]little tai-chi maybe a few minutes,
[02:05.62]go for a swim...
[02:10.77]One last question
[02:11.62]are you an optimist,
[02:12.52]would you say Neither optimist or pessimist,
[02:16.86]just kinda neutral as far as all that sort of thing goes.
[02:21.81]I don't think much about that.
[02:23.23]It's gonna go well or badly,
[02:24.75]if I think I wanna do it
[02:25.55]I'll just do it.
