It's so daunting to walk into a classroom or a school auditorium. It's like the world's weirdest blind date. I know all the students are thinking, 'Who is this tool standing up in front of us?'

My whole life, meeting people is like a blind date, because I feel like they've already seen the video on me.
You know, I'm not sure I ever even had a blind date!
I've never seen anything like the way some young people behave. They go out on a date, and they're sitting opposite each other at a table, and they're not looking at each other, and they text each other as though they're deaf-mutes. It's insane.

Where you learn things, really, is watching it in front of an audience.
