The new hero of Swansea is considering how it feels like to know he could walk in any pub in the city and not have to pay for a drink.
He laughs when asked, but Ben Wilmot knows it's true. Last Sunday, this 19-year-old on loan from Watford settled the South Wales derby, heading home against Cardiff.
What made it even more impressive was the England Under-21 international was making his first Championship start for Swansea. As full league debuts go, this will take some beating.
This was Wilmot's first-ever goal, too, and there has been an outpouring of gratitude towards him since. 'I've had people come up to me,' he explains to Sportsmail.
'Saying "Thank you for the goal", which feels weird. But it's nice to have a bit of attention. With that being my first (goal), it was a weird enough experience.
'But to score it in such a big game, it's caught attention. I can't really remember any of it. It was madness after I scored. The noise, everyone jumping on you.'
Wilmot's last league start came in Italy's Serie A, for Udinese. While on loan there, he faced AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus, who left Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench.
Most defenders would thank their lucky stars to see a goal machine like Ronaldo sitting among the substitutes. Not Wilmot. 'I would have liked all of their big boys to have been playing.
'They still had a very good side out. Paulo Dybala, Moise Kean… But it would have been nice for Ronaldo to have played. The fans (in Italy) are mental.
'Some of the stadiums over there only compare to the top six in the Premier League here. That gave me that experience, that preparation. I came back knowing there is not a game over here that I should be nervous heading into.'
That includes Cardiff.
'I was just desperate to play and have been since I've got here,' says the teenager, who can play as a deep midfielder as well as central defence. 'Once I found out I wasn't that fussed who it was against. That didn't faze me.
'It was getting built up but that didn't faze me. I wanted to be a part of it because it was a big game. I was desperate to play, everyone was. So it was nice to get in the team.
'It's hard. When I got here, the team was doing really well. Everyone is happy, as are you, but then you also want to play. You just have to take your chance.'
It is safe to say he did that against Cardiff.
Wilmot's desperation to spend time on the pitch has followed him throughout his young career, from Stevenage to Watford to loan spells at Udinese and now Swansea.
He could have stayed in Hertfordshire and sat on the substitutes' bench or represented the Under-23s. But Wilmot is refreshingly honest in his assessment of development football.
'I'm not sure you can get anything out of the Under-23s, apart from maybe match fitness if you're coming back from an injury,' says the defender-cum-midfielder.
'It's not as competitive. Less fans, so there isn't that pressure of playing in front of people. No pressure of jobs on the line for players and staff.
'All of that comes into play on a match day in senior football. Everyone involved throughout the week is working towards the game at the weekend. Nothing compares to that.
'I wanted to come here to get games. I didn't want to waste this year by sitting on a bench. I'm glad I'm here. The plan is to play in the Premier League as soon as possible. But you have to earn that right. And that's what I'm out here trying to do.'
His immediate priority is to help Swansea, sitting fourth in the Championship, get there themselves. A win against Wigan in their televised tie on Saturday would take them top temporarily.
This is a young man with a clear pathway ahead of him. He has his eye on England, too, having made his Under-21 debut alongside household names such as Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi and Manchester City's Phil Foden.
'It's been a whirlwind,' says Wilmot of his career to date. And it's just getting going, too.
