I am capable of cruelty and anger, and I’m also capable of being a good man.”(07:12) - Building deeper relationships - “I didn't have any friendships in my life that were really about talking about the elephants in the room.”(18:24) - On how ‘The Work’ grounds you - “I'm single going through a breakup and not working and I'm the best I've ever been because I have this work.”(19:57) - Accepting emotional pain - “Use the pain as a roadmap to show you where your shit is, to show you where your wounds are. It's why we feel pain. If we've got a cut on our arm, if you prod it, you go, ‘Oh, there's the cut. Got to deal with that now.”(22:01) - Why intimate relationships among men are so important - “Men are so safe when they're in this space.They're strong. They protect you. They are compassionate.”(26:39) - How men typically express their emotions - “The way that we process that emotion, it tends to come out physically rather than in an articulated way, which isn't useful if we're just like losing it with people and just like punching lads in the face and yelling at our girlfriends.”(28:21) - We're all capable of good and bad - “We are capable of great love and beauty and joy and great horror and malevolence. That is the human condition. We're all dealt those cards.”(31:51) - What courage looks like - “Being courageous is saying we're not always going to get every subject right. There's nothing that we need to get right. The point is, ‘Here's what it looks like to be just honest about things.’”RESOURCES:Connect w/ Daniel on Instagram, Twitter and IMDBConnect w/ Leggy on Instagram and SpotifyThank you for listening!
