I think I'm a different person. I think I've matured to a great extent. I think that I want different things now.

We've lost touch and allowed technology to take precedence over organic nature. But let's not forget that those microchips in our computers came from elements of the earth.

We get very set in our ways and it's sometimes hard to look beyond what else is out there.
