Because I was so aware that this was the moment when people were going to say, okay, they have too much.

And I was aware of it in real time.

And it's one of the big heartbreaks was the fact that culture or the way that we respond to people's success can sometimes be vicious after a certain point.

It's like you see it with people.

It's like we lift them up, we lift them up, we lift them up, we lift them up.

And then at some point, there's a tipping point where the media decides, okay, they've had enough.

Why do you think that is?

Because you can't, the balloon can't stay afloat forever.

Right.

It's just how this works.

And I think I remember in that moment feeling insecure.

And then I heard a conversation that was happening publicly.

There was a podcast that happened where someone was saying like that I didn't deserve all that I got.

And I thought, again, it's that moment of like, oh, someone sees me.

Yes, yeah.

And it took me a long time to realize I did deserve what I got.

And also, I was hearing this from another gay person, and I thought, more than anything else, if I win, you win.

If I get to make more things, you get to do more things.

The more that culture sees...

us succeeding, the more they want to give us things.
