00:00It's never too late. If you're eight years old or you're 80 years old, it's never too late to go
00:04buy yourself a Lego set and like build things, right? Or even in your own mind or even in your
00:10own life to build things piece by piece.
00:23Keith Worrell. Hey, how you doing, man? You know what'd be cool is if we told my story with
00:28Lego pieces. Seriously? Yes. Lego. Just be open. Yeah, that's exactly how it went. I never really
00:37liked talking about myself and I don't really like, I mean these days anyways. My agent at the time
00:44was just telling me about how many people were doing documentaries and how he felt like my story
00:50would be interesting. And then finally he was like, look, I mean, I understand why you wouldn't do it.
00:55You can literally do whatever you want to do. And I'm like, hold on, whatever I want to do.
01:00And he's like, yeah. I'm like, okay, well, cool. Let me think about that. Then I took it seriously
01:07because it was like, okay, they have no idea. I'm going to go left, which is where I feel like I
01:15belong. And so I took a minute and then when it dawned on me, I was like, oh, I want to tell
01:20my story through the platform of Legos. I mean, telling it through the guise of a Lego world
01:27allows everyone to feel like it's possible to not only tell their story, but to also ideate
01:39and be creative. And it's never too late to build things piece by piece. It's kind of
01:44like how it works. And that's the point. That's the point in the film. That's the point in my
01:51story. That's the point in the song. I mean, it's all one thing. It's like, we're all building
01:57our lives here. We're co-creators with the creator, right? So it's like just reminding people of that
02:03and using the Lego world as a platform to tell that story and to communicate that to people.
02:12It took five years to make. It wasn't just the animation that took the time. It was like all
02:17the interviews, you know, just like the thought that went into it because this has never happened
02:21before. You know, this is unprecedented. It's never happened before. I didn't feel vulnerable.
02:26It just felt like, felt like what I'm supposed to do, whether I want to be in front of the camera
02:34or not. And that's the other thing that I really loved is that I personally did not have to be in
02:40front of the camera, but my feelings and my reflections and my observations and, you know, at times my
02:46opinions, you know, whatever I got to opine whatever way I wanted to, like that brought about a level of
02:52comfort that where I wouldn't usually be comfortable because I don't like, I don't like being in front
02:58all the time. You know, in fact, I like being a producer and being in the back, being a writer and
03:03being in the back, you know, it's always an evolution to the process. And if it's not, you're no longer
03:10learning. So you have to remain curious and you have to, you know, listen to different genres and
03:17music of like, you know, what's out there in the world, you know, old and new, just be open.
03:24And that's, to me, I think, is the key. I think my, my levels of gratitude and my processes of just
03:36like how to invest in myself, how to invest in my health, invest in my mind, my body, my soul,
03:42and my spirit, those making those investments, you know, taking the time to block out the
03:49distractions, to just purely invest time and space, being open, being curious. I hope it lights a fire
03:59and every human being is able to see and feel.
