You can choose, you can go ...

You can choose, you can go one of two ways. You can be the person I probably admire more and say \'well I don\'t care and I\'ll continue not to bother to brush my hair.\' Or you can be a weak-willed person like me and think \'oh I\'d better get my act together. And maybe my mother was right and I do need to put my hair back and tidy myself up a bit.\' So I did tidy myself up a bit. But I do often resent the amount of time that it takes to pull yourself together to go on TV, I really do. If I sound bitter, then that accurately reflects how I feel about the subject.
