I guess I was just thinking that if you're at a stage in life where you're still uncertain or just getting a handle on who you are, after a long period of intoxication obfuscation, it's probably a lot more daunting to be expected to make interesting, insightful and defining statements about yourself (and why the random public should care about you, when you're still really just learning to care about yourself), than it is to portray something interesting and defining about someone else's concept, character or words.

I mean you can put pieces of yourself into that to make it richer but you can walk away from it, too...which not so much with interviews...they follow you, as he's alluded to.

If that makes any sense.

"Where he said that he was 'very young back then'. With, you know, 37. Ahem."

And yeah, that's another example. And I think he was very young then, because that was still early in his personal Adult Life: Attempt the Second. Which for all our great enjoyment, has turned out so well. Can you imagine if he had stuck it out in LA? I think he would have been flayed and turned into something no longer recognisable.

Obviously, this is entirely my interpretation here. ;)
