The basics haven’t changed at all, because we didn’t come into this like having to get up to speed on how we loved each other, how we cared for each other. We were a loving family and we were always very close to each other. And we always say we love each other and like each other, so that’s kind of cool. We can talk about politics, I love Radiohead, you know we share so many things with each other before this, so the basics stayed the same. What has changed is, now when they want to help me, I better let them. You know, I had to spoil them before and do everything, and I didn’t realize, even though I had no intentions of saying this them, that I was saying that they weren’t capable of doing it. Now, you know, now I would die rather than make them feel that way about them. I adore them, they’re the most wonderful people in the world. So they want to be a part of this and I better let them in—all the way, all the way not just on my terms.
