Your antenna's out in a different way and I love that time.

I like to feel the butterflies in the stomach I like to go home and have a restless night and wonder how I'm going to be able to accomplish this feat get jittery. That hunger and those butterflies in the stomach are very essential for all creative people.

More people have more access to more readers for less money than ever before in history.
