Highlights of the interview:
Ange: (on talking about Dave’s kids) How has that changed you at all?
Dave: I don’t think it’s changed me at all. I don’t think people generally change that much in their life. I don’t feel like I am different than I was when I was six years old. I know more things.
Ange: Wow, that is really interesting… I have never thought about it that way.
