You know, sometimes if you work - if you do a lot of takes and you work long hours, for me, at least, there is a delirium that starts kicking in on the fifteenth hour, and that can help. Below the just thirteenth hour is where I have a concern, because everybody's so tired.

There is much that is difficult and challenging in the world today, my brothers and sisters, but there is also much that is good and uplifting.
