Original artwork, not a still
The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is its last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory.

Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Price considers how knowing death may be close changes a person's priorities. What usually feels like an impossible thought becomes, in his account, a reason to take stock without ordinary distractions. The speech links danger to a troubling kind of clarity rather than simple fearlessness.
