The public interest always surprises me. I come to work in these rooms with no windows. At night I go home. I just live my life. I guess I just don't think much about whether people are going to watch. Most of my friends don't know much about what I do, and we don't talk about it. I have a different life away from work. Which is fine, because my work can get pretty intense.

But a better way to put it is I kind of forget about it. I do it and I forget about it. And I just work.
As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.

When I'm shaving, I'm thinking about what I need to accomplish that day. If it's game day, I'm thinking about schemes, thinking about my matchup for that game.
