And he was at the end of every commercial.

So there was a sports expectation, I think, to some extent in my family, but I just wasn't interested or good at it.

And so –

by going to the Vallejo Children's Theater and putting on production after production, I just had the fear beat out of me.

And to also just be in that world where I was discovering music.

Black artistry was the culture.

Tina Turner was on the radio with new artists.

Tina has been around.

You know what I mean?

And now here she is like chart-topping with Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson and – and then I always have a hard time explaining to young people just what Eddie Murphy was.

Like you're never going to understand –

How supernova that presence was globally.

Just we all fell in love with Eddie.

And then the Fat Boys came out.

Oh, the Fat Boys.

Oh, let me tell you.

Not successfully.
