I also use myself and the world around me to try and understand the work so it’s kind of mutually generous in that way. I had a chance after 'Miami Vice' to take a little time off and I took a little time off. There was no major orchestration and I’m being really genuine because I know it sounds like I’m just saying it for saying its sake, but I never really had a master plan.
