I wanted to project myself forward to age 80 and say, ‘OK, I’m looking back on my life. I want to minimise the number of regrets I have.’ And I knew that when I was 80, I was not going to regret having tried this.

But I knew the one thing I might regret is not ever having tried. I knew that that would haunt me every day.
