Because I did.

I had imposter syndrome until, I mean, I don't think it was until I directed my first movie.

I was like...

that was the time i was like okay you know what you do belong here because you now have the ability to like make something and you don't have to depend on you know you're not just like showing up as a a a pawn in this grand sort of project you you did it and i think that that was what kind of put me over you know as far as feeling like i you know

earned my spot at the table, maybe.

Somebody told me recently, you know, for those who do have what you just mentioned, were born on third base and act like they just hit a triple.

And I think that, listen, I have respect for people that have that kind of confidence.

It took me a long time to have, like I just said, to feel like I belonged here.

But I wish that I'd had a little bit more of whatever that is because I feel like I would have put myself in some situations that I never put myself in.

But again, it all works out the way it works out, you know?

And I needed to, you know, really sort of keep, and it also kept pushing me, you know?

And it still pushes me because I still feel in some ways that I don't belong and that's what keeps me going.

Like I still want to keep sort of proving myself.

How quickly it happens.

I mean, I was 43 yesterday, it feels like.

I was your age yesterday.

Now I'm 53.

As you get older, it just... And it makes sense because, you know, when you're two years old, you only have so much context.

But when you're three, you got a little more.

And then it just starts happening quicker and quicker.
