...“So the thing is, at first we tried to head in the opposite direction of what was considered 'Johnny's-like,' but then we started taking the strategy of being 'Johnny's-like' but changing the way things are bit by bit from the inside out.”
He pondered for a bit after saying this, and then explains, “It's like we quit trying to change bread into rice, and instead made a rice-burger, does that explain it better?” He continued on to proudly say, “In the end, we were able to do what we had aimed to do, and from our point of view, it's like 'We got you!'” чудное объяснение своей творческой и вообще жизни ))
