I said just think about it I don't know if that's ever worked out, but I still think there's value in that and
Yeah, that's not the truth.

No. I mean, some things might be easy. Maybe you grew up, you know, well cared for. Maybe you didn't. Maybe they're, you know, maybe they're self-involved, you know, self-involved people. I was going to so-and-so's, I was going to say a nastier word, but it's like, and that wasn't an easy ride. Maybe it was really a nightmare.

You know, there's a lot of kids have been through stuff with big egos, people who have been through a lot. I mean, cause you know, No matter how much success a certain person has had, there's going to be moments when that slides. I mean, unless you're maybe Paul McCartney. I just think everyone just adores him because there's a reason.

But in so many cases, the bloom leaves the rose, whatever, and people are not so enchanted with what they do anymore. that's a hard thing to slam into one day. And if they don't have real character, they can take it out on the people around them. And I mean, I've been tempted to do that. I mean, there have been moments when I thought, why isn't this working out?

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.
