And that's why the book is so much about my parents.

And the book was such a gift to me.

And it forced me to sit down, which I probably wouldn't have done.

you know, unless I had a reason to, which was that someone made me an offer and I took it to write a book about my childhood.

They didn't say that it had to be about my childhood.

All the publisher said was we want it to be personal.

We want it to be nonfiction, to have a memoir-like quality.

They said, other than that, it can be a book of essays.

It can be whatever you want.

And I sat down and I said, what is this going to be about?

And I thought, okay, what is the root of all of this?

Why was I able to accomplish all of this?

Being gay, not ever being the prettiest person to walk into the audition room.
