"The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? I'm not trying to think about it. I'm just there in this moment that's beyond my brain, and it's fantastic."
