"I think we're in that parent-child relationship where people are almost... Spoon-feeding is unfair, but I think you know what I'm trying to say."
"So they had a few hours in the morning to actually do the work. And that worked for everybody because they felt more in control."
"But it's really tricky, though, for some people who are naturally unselfish or perfectionist because you're actually going against the grain almost."
"So, you know, that's what I was going to say, it feels a bit meh sometimes, doesn't it? It's all a bit meh."
