Sometimes it's a huge amble, where you're just on top, on the lid, and it's not going anywhere, and sometimes you walk on the stage and from the first note, the afterburner kicks in and you can't stop it.

Your parents were always trying to get you to be careful when you were a kid, and that's all pervasive in this society.

We're just inviting adventure into our life, and adventure carries a little baggage.
