TRANSCRIPT
- I don't think we're having many of the conversations we should be having at all.
They're not open conversations.
I thought of us as dealing with subjects that were household subjects.
There wasn't anything we dealt with that wasn't being discussed up the street or across the street.
We were talking about the things we should be talking about, period.
