When asked about the direction of his career, he said: "I don't want to make a mistake on what to do next. You just have to kind of think: Well, my plan is maybe a miracle will happen and everything will be fine." He then concludes with uncertainty, "Just...Uhh, I guess the plan is to just hope?"*1
