I took... I had a couple of kids from a previous relationship who went to an impossibly elite, loathsome, woke seminary in Santa Monica. And then I had my daughter Clara, who dropped out of school when she was 14. because she just couldn't take it anymore, and she became an emancipated minor and went to work on a Disney show for two years. And she was great, so she didn't have any school.
And then my son went to a couple of schools, and he just did something extraordinary. He's 25, and when he started to be 20, he says, Dad, I want to create a video game. I said, okay, good, good, good. You may not know every young kid of that age wants to create a video game. That's their dream. Five years later, he's taught himself code. He's created this video game.

So I should maybe cool my jets because he spent all these years sitting on his computer. He made this gorgeous video game. Now he's going to make another one. But was that enough to make a living?
