And I look at this pen and I ask myself, “What the hell am I grabbing this thing for? Why am I trying to become something I don’t wanna become when all I want is out there waiting for me the minute I say I know who I am?”

That’s where you guys come in. It’s like you come onto this planet with a crayon box. Now you may get the 8 pack, you may get the 16 pack but it’s all in what you do with the crayons - the colors - that you’re given. Don’t worry about coloring within the lines or coloring outside the lines - I say color outside the lines, you know what I mean? Color all over the page; don’t box me in!

See, now’s the time of the meal when you start getting the McStomach ache. You start getting the McTummy. You get the McGurgles in there. You get the McBrick, then you get the McStomach ache.
