I mean, you had this quote in an interview with St. Louis Public Radio that I can really

relate to.

You said, I wish that I knew a time when I could be bored.

Can you say more about that?

Absolutely.

I come from a family, my dad is one of five, my mom is one of six, and they always would

tell these vast stories and these grand stories, but like jumping off the roof, being Mary

Poppins, or just kind of like running around tinkering with things.

To me, that is so foreign, and that makes me really upset.

And my mom would always say, it's because we were bored.

What else were we supposed to do?

And I look back at my own experience and my own childhood, and I didn't have those experiences

because I never was forced to be bored.

I never was able to just have a second where I thought, oh gosh, like I don't know what

to do.

Should I pick up a book?

Should I go outside?

Because there always is something there to do.

And I made a comment to my co-director yesterday about this, is, you know, we were born with

an iPhone in hand, and now is the time we're really calling for action to put the phone

down.
