And then the movie did well on the opening weekend. They made more money than they thought. I was like, That's good. So now something really terrible is going to happen to me. So I thought it was going to be the movie, but now it's like, no, I'm going to get hit by the car. It's not even get hit by the car. It's more like existential.

Like people are going to realize I'm a terrible, something I live with this dread. I assume it helps me in some way.

Yeah. And I do so enjoy my work. I feel like I just won the lottery that I get to be able to do something I genuinely like. So that's really helpful. And also my work is emotionally cathartic because it's an emotional job. And so that's really helpful too. All the stuff around it is really kind of unnerving.

In terms of the negative motivation thing, we're in the arts and no one's really asking us. Now you have an incredibly popular show, but probably at the beginning, no one was begging you to do this. No one was begging you to be on Parenting. You know, all the stuff we're doing has to be self-motivating because no one cares. Like, oh, can you write a script today? No, no. Who gives a shit?

And so, like, I wonder if we in some ways are looking for some kind of motivation because there is no external demand to do the thing. It's not like you have to punch in like you guys created this from nothing and it's turned into this thing. Now, forcing yourself to think in these weird ways to motivate yourself. It's hard because I sit down, I write a script a year.

My background is playwriting, but I don't really need to do that because I make money from acting. But I feel like I'm going to be a failure if I don't do it. And so I live with this dread of failure. And when I step back, sometimes I think, oh, maybe that's just the thing I create in my head to force myself to do the thing I like. Yeah. Is that possible?
