“When you work from morning to night, some matters tend to mature in your mind, because you have to put this spectacle on all the time.
“If you are not convinced that you can give everything that these people deserve, it’s right to think it over. You think it over, you arrive at a conclusion, and then you stick with it. This is not something that rained over all of us from out of nowhere.”
