journey for a couple of minutes. It's really easy to summarize. I come from these projects in Brooklyn called Cypress Hills. I do that all the time. Cypress Hills is in East New York. And nobody in my neighborhood was an actor or anything like that. And it's been a long journey from Cypress Hills to the Matrix Revolutions and Reloaded and all of those things. And

And so, yeah, those things are filled with so many ups and downs and like learning new skills for a long time. I was a dancer, you know, I wrote some songs and so I was in the music part of it for a while. Always wanted to be an actor and had to keep struggling to do that. And so there are lots of twists and turns and pivots and in order to get to a place where you might call success.

All the time. I wish I could stop thinking about that. Somebody asked me the other day, they said, oh, when did you realize that you made it? I was like, I don't know what you're talking about. I made it. I'm still on the wheel. And it's not like I haven't done well, right? We've done well. But still, there's always another new step to keep you interested.

Yeah, I'm really glad that when I started acting, I didn't know what it took. because I would have never done it like I'm really glad that at this point I was just like I just believe I can and the truth was I probably shouldn't but I did believe it and so then you just keep going and keep working it out and keep working it out but there is a real delusion there's a real like No, no, no.

No, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I know. I'm weird. I'm weird looking. But I'm still going to be an actor. And then here I am.

That's so many things that are really the same as, like, an actor. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I have to take out insurance in my house because if I have a party and somebody does a thing, they could try to sue you, which has actually happened. It's so... It's crazy. And I didn't realize so many things were, until we were talking today, so many things were so similar with entrepreneurs.

And I'm glad you're telling me about this because, you know, I just started a bourbon business, which we talked about. And so now I got things to look forward to. The ups and downs of bourbon.
