And I do my best not to visit my children with it. It may be that I'm not available a little bit sometimes when things aren't going so well. I'm not really sure. I try to be. But I think it's foolish for us to judge what we think is privilege or someone's good fortune and not realize that, you know what?
Maybe they deserve a little bit of good fortune in their lives, and I'm sure it came at quite a price sometimes. I think everybody gets there with their own nuance of damage, and that should be just respected. Everybody got here for a reason. Everybody who's done well deserves it.
Well, I think most of my kids would say, you know, that I gave it a good try. I think that's what they'd say. I think my latest batch would probably say, my latest batch, my children with Kate. We have three. Faith, Gabe, and James. I think they would say, Dad's in it. Dad's in it with his whole heart. And I'm mostly fun. They are scared of me, which is interesting.
I'll blow my top once in a while, and it's pretty interesting to see a young person just go, But that's usually kind of what you need them to do in that moment. Something has to be suspended. I was given the gift of a great voice. I don't have to go slam a door too hard or do anything else to get attention. I've got a voice that is arresting. And that can usually stop people in their tracks.
And a young person sometimes needs to be. My older kids... My eldest, Spencer, when she was born, I remember looking at her, looking at her little bassinet, thinking, oh, she's her own person already. She kind of has something in mind. So I'm not sure what Spencer would say about that.
I know we've been in and out of one another's lives, but there's a profound love there, and that's what I can rely on. There's a profound love in the book that's... That's what I did it for. That's what I've done all this for. And so hopefully it will bear some fruit.
Delusional if you did, but.
Well, that's a really interesting thing. This is as recent as I flew home from Texas after the first time I actually celebrated the book with a group of other people. It was two nights ago. And on the flight back, I thought, I wonder what it would be like to throw it all away now. and choose the most courageous life I've ever lived and just be with my children. So that's, it's still ongoing.
It's still there. Cause I mean, yeah, they say, you know, I'm, I'm starting this beer company. I gotta go away a lot for that. And I don't like going away, but I feel I'm drawn to do this. I'm feeling I'm supposed to do that and make that happen. But to live in true courage, I don't know. Maybe it would just be, we're leaving LA. We're going to go do something else.
I don't know what that might be, but it would be to experience this life with them as a constant thing. I don't know if it's the right life example, though, either. I don't know if that would be the right thing to show them. So Dad gave it all up for us. And then six years later, they're going to go, I'm out. But that's what I want them to do. They need to do that. They need to find their thing.
And they're already working on it. I mean, that's... We shepherd them some, but also we're kind of just, we're there to help them have as safe a launch as possible.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Did you leave anything sort of in the background? Did you skip something? Because we got just this set of time, whatever it is. And that was the only question that came with it. But why haven't you had the balls to go out and Start a music career. You know, that's because I love music, and that's the first thing that got me into this. Why did you step away from it?
Why did you not just say, oh, I'm going to go be a composer now? So I've still got this still dancing in there, and I don't want to leave anything undone. So there is that other thing. But maybe that's when I started thinking, so why don't I write a song with my kids?
Why don't I do music with them? So I don't know. Would that be the courageous thing to do? I mean, maybe I should chuck all this and then go do, spend my life in the studio with the kids. I don't know. These things just crop up because it's, to do what he's given unto you, it's like, well, I've got something there that I still think, well, maybe I should be doing that.
I've written a bunch of songs and maybe somebody should hear them, you know? I don't know. I wish I had the true courage, but I've always talked myself out of it thinking it wasn't quite good enough.
And there's that old bugaboo.
Yeah. You know, maybe it's supposed to be sort of just a hobby. Yeah, I don't know. But it was the first thing that called to me when I was a kid, so that was the first thing. That was...
Pretty much I have, yeah. There's the one thing that maybe it's just too personal. I don't know. There's still that part that doesn't like to be told it wasn't good enough. Yeah. I don't know. So we'll see. Yeah.
