And I talk about this in my book too, which is the sort of the kismet of my Disney journey is the one place my father would always take me when I was growing up was Disney World. Wow.

Yeah, it can. It had the opposite effect on me and my brothers. I have such an incredible mother. My mom was so badass. And despite the emotional shrapnel that I felt as a result of her divorce, and I've had to heal and talk to her about that and forgive that because...

I was the only one in the house who was absorbing that. And that was scary. And that was lonely. And the birth of comedy. Big time.

I grew up too fast and I didn't grow up enough. I'm jealous of my friends who had both parents till they were 18 at least. And then a later divorce, I think is sometimes maybe better. Sometimes maybe worse for me. It was very different experience than it was for my brothers. My brothers were 10 and eight years older and they got the family journey. Mine was ripped away at six.
