Yeah, no, when I was in, when I grew up in Brooklyn in Cypress Hills, I was just, I was just the cat that wasn't like, you know, I couldn't play any of the sports. I wasn't that cool to hang out with. You know, people used to do the dozens. Yo mama is so stupid. My yo mama jokes were the worst jokes you have ever heard. Like, you know what I mean? And anything that I could do wasn't really cool.

Like, I was really good at math. That wasn't cool. And then I became a dancer, and that wasn't so cool. But like a ballet dancer. There's lots of people who can dance, but I was like a ballet dancer. And so all that stuff was really, really tricky to see yourself succeeding, even though the environment where you are, you're completely failing. because it's just not where you belong.

And you really just have to go like, you know what? This is not for me, man. I'm not knocking anybody else. It's just, this is not for me. I don't belong here. I can't hustle drugs. I just can't. I don't know how to do it. Do you know what I mean? I don't have that kind of, I'm not that brave. I'm not interested in it. And so what I want to do is I want to be, I want to go do Swan Lake.

I really, really do. Like I want to learn how to to dance to Tchaikovsky. I really, really do. I do want to go read, like, you know, the great plays by Arthur Miller and, you know, and do those on Broadway. That's what I want to do. I want to do Shakespeare. So, it's been really tricky to be that goofy guy, but, like, just

Absolutely. And that's one of the things, again, we talked about this earlier. We talked about representation, right? It's really important to see different types of people who do all these things to see women who are entrepreneurs and men who are dancers, bisexual people who don't have to talk about their sexuality at all, but really succeed whatever field they're in.
