Welcome. Welcome. I love it. I always tell everybody that London is the center of the universe right now and everybody still thinks I'm crazy for leaving California, but the grass is always greener.

1:03.0

I just think London is the coolest, most dynamic place on planet. Well, I suppose the obvious thing for me to ask is, do you not miss the weather?

1:42.0

The place, the people, everything. And I got there and I thought, yeah, this is great. It's sunny. It's nice, but it's so far away from everything.

1:52.0

Like, like you say, you can't just nip to Spain. You can't just be like, I'll spend the weekend in Paris. It's impossible.
