"You start to think, when you're finishing a record, in twelve- to fourteen-minute chunks. At a certain point, you do write to the format.

We should try to learn the nature of this spirit, that we may understand its suggestions, and then we will always be able to do right. This is the grand privilege of every Latter-day Saint.”
