Sure.

Well, first, just let me clarify that the relationship, if you'd like to call it that, the situation that I was in with this older man was one that I felt very trapped in.

And I felt that I had been trapped in this situation by this man in his 40s.

I was 16 years old.

I didn't quite know how to get out of it.

I didn't feel confident that I could talk to my parents about it.

I didn't really feel like I had any friends that I could talk to about it.

And I went to an all boys Catholic school and I decided in confession one day to tell this priest who is also a teacher of mine that I really trusted and really liked about this relationship in the hopes that he could maybe give me some guidance to get out of it.

And at the end of the confession, he gave me a hug and then he kissed me.

But not like a simple kiss, like a full like open mouth kiss.

And then that continued for a couple years that that priest then felt like he had an open door to do that to me, which was wild.

That's how I – and maybe that's why, Terry, when I read the script of the Book of Mormon –

And I was like, well, I don't really have a problem with satirizing religion because I don't know if I have the greatest relationship with it myself.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No, no.

I told my parents later and I told – when my first book, Too Much Is Not Enough, came out, then the school did reach out to me and ask about it.

Did they?

They did.

They did.
