It's that I had thought that my life was a good story, and if I could tell it true, then I wanted to try and do it.

So it took me an endless amount of time, basically because I put it away for a year and come back to it and put it away for six months and then come back to it.

It was only...

really in the last couple of years that I was, I wouldn't call it dedicated, but that I had more discipline.

I never was sure I would publish it.

And then I got to a point where I said, you know, I've done it.

I've kind of told it.

I got it down.

So let it go.

My friends told me, publish it after you're gone, after you die.

And I thought, well, I ain't going to have anything to do with that.

So I'd rather have agency of my own.

Now, it's now been like, I think, three weeks or so

So I've gotten a bit used to it.

But in the first days, I thought, oh, my God, what the hell have I done here?

I think the first day or the second day, I did a I think it was a live interview on CBS Sunday morning.

And I know it wasn't live.

It was taped.

But it was it went out like right away.

And and I thought and I'm being asked all these very personal questions.
