You know, what gave me...
The confidence, you know, I'm not always confident, but it does take a lot of confidence and a ton of resilience, even in success to keep going, especially in my industry, but also for all of us, just life is hard.
And then when I realized is, oh, like my parents gave me something from a young age, like back in the 80s and 90s that a lot of gay kids did not get, still don't get some of them when they're kids.
And especially back then, a lot of kids who love the performing arts don't get
And that is just an enormous amount of unconditional love and support to pursue my dreams, right?
And to be me.
They always let me be me.
I had a very unusual childhood.
My therapist actually said to me recently, she said, you know, for a gay man, you had a very unusual childhood because your parents did not instill any shame in you about that ever.
And I think you can track any success I've had back to how much they loved me and let me be me.
So...
And here's one example of it.
This is from a chapter in the book.
Well, the other theme of the book is that even when you have great parents, which I did, my parents were not in the performing arts.
They were not creative people.
They loved show business.
Like they love going to see a Broadway show, you know, and that really bonded us as a family because that was obviously a huge driving force for me.
But they weren't artists, you know, so they don't really they didn't really know what that life was going to be like for me.
And in that case, I think the artists and the entertainers you love, especially as a little kid or as a teenager, they really help raise you, too.
in a way, I think.
