0:00.0	Actually the future in some way is frightening and therefore we should go back to a time
0:07.0	when it wasn't frightening, which is a very odd and slightly naive point of view.
0:13.0	How have your views changed though?
0:15.0	I mean I've always liked the idea of moving forward. I've never been comfortable with the idea of looking towards the past.
