The methodology is, I'm trying to think of new ways to approach ideas that I have and ideas that I want to come back to, I suppose, but I'm always trying to put them in a new way or a slightly different language or a slightly different environment. So, I think that the basic beginning point is always very different. It depends on how you look at it.
