Well, I think I started as a child actor in Hollywood.
And so I was thinking, what am I going to do with my life?
And when I discovered that, hey, I've got a career that's sort of launched.
Now I'm trying to build a life for myself.
But once you become a dad and now I'm a grandfather, I'm beginning to think legacy.

And one of the ways that I can do that is by playing the long game and investing in the moral, spiritual,
health of my children and my grandchildren.
So when I think of the impact that Mr. Rogers had on generations of families, I think, who's our guy today?
Who's going to do that?

What has the response been to both of those, Brave Books and Iggy?
Well, it depends on who you ask.
So the drag queens don't like the books much.
