You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan.

Not my biggest fear, but my biggest problem onstage is over-emphasizing what I do. I'm pushing too hard. You need to engage an audience. They need to be able to involve their own imaginations as well. They don't need everything thrust down their throat, and I have a tendency to do that. I always have had a tendency to do that.

As Australians, we see the law as inherently bad. We have a real inherent distaste for authority in our makeup.
