You have it. You do the exploration with your fellow contributors, and you make the movie. And he said, I'm curious to see how it fares. Right. Because I'm curious to see how it fares, because I'm curious how anything fares in human nature, you know, how things are received.

You know, something that's received in a weird way or not completely supportive initially, like Apocalypse Now or something, becomes one of the greatest movies ever made. So movies have a test of time. You know, Francis always said, you have to look at a movie like 25 years after it's made, and that'll tell you what kind of movie it was, you know.

Yeah, there was never, ever an ounce of doubt in her mind that this is where she wanted to be and this is where she was like, ready, let's go. I'm coming. I'm coming with you. Okay, but you know, okay what? Let's go. It was as simple as that. And she's held the fort from day one like that. It's never been an issue with what we need, what we don't need.

We pay the rent and we keep moving forward, keep moving forward. We've been blessed to have four beautiful children that we've been able to provide for. We got two granddaughters and a little grandson on the way. And knock on wood, everybody's been healthy. Everybody pursues their dreams. I have two actresses, a professional model and a professional DJ.

So, you know, it's like, it's like, you know, it's like you find yourself in the same position as your dad when your kids go, I want to pursue. Listen, they were acting since they were like five. So they knew the pitfalls they grew up in. It was a totally different thing, you know. and they know what they're getting into and the struggles it'll be. But I said, this is a life's work.

This is not about if I don't make it in two years. If this is something you love, it's with you for your life, you know. You know, some people get their break when they're 45 years old. But you're still in it all that time. And then all of a sudden, something comes your way all of a sudden. I mean, one of the famous people, I think, and he'll be the first to tell you, is Morgan Freeman.

How his breaks came very late. Well, late, not 60 years old. But, you know, he was a... He was around for a long time before things cracked for him. And, you know, on a popular level, you know, but it doesn't mean people didn't recognize him as a great actor. He was doing stage here and there and then, boom, a movie nominated for an Oscar. Bang, bang, bang.

And and he got into another level in his life. And and he's one of the extraordinary, one of the most extraordinary actors out there, you know. So it's a weird thing. There's never enough work for actors in this business. It's just very low percentage of people work. But what you can do is dedicate yourself to your art, even when you're not getting paid. Have an understanding of it.

Stay in tune with it. Explore. Write. Create your own opportunities if you can. But stay in tune with it. Stay connected with it. And also live life because life feeds your art for them. It's like the whole thing is, well, I'm not getting married because until my career, forget about that, you know. You don't get married because you don't want to get married because you don't know.
