I guess, in essence, I was ready for it in a sense that— Okay, stop, because I love this.
I'll put it this way, and I can maybe sum it up into one sentence of being at the Tony Awards that night when I had won the Tony, got up and handed me this Tony.
The thing that I'd been watching people get in acting school on TV saying, look at that, wow.
The after party, somebody comes up to interview me and says, what's it feel like to win the Tony Award?
And I said, my response was, it's like winning the lottery, but I've been buying tickets for the last 15 years.
And that's kind of what it was.
So in other words, my point being, 15 years prior, I'd been doing all that stuff, all the things you mentioned, the plays, that hair.
It led to a moment where now I'm in a position, again, we'll make the baseball analogy.
You're banging around.
You did Little League, Pony League.
You played it in college.
You played American Legion ball.
Oh, you made it to the minors.
Triple A. Oh, my God.
Your first time at bat.
Now you're at Wrigley Field and you're wearing a Chicago Cubs uniform.
You're playing left field for the Cubs.
What's that moment like?
So on one hand, you're like, I can't believe it.
But then on the other hand, you've got to say to yourself, no, wait.
