And I still do work with people who are just starting out because that's still a very major passion for me, especially if somebody was,

I want to say emotionally abused in an academic musical theater program and they are carrying it on them.

I don't even think, oh, I'm going to send them to somebody else.

I think, no, let this at me and let me explain to them how I understand how they're feeling.

And they go, you totally get me and let's do the work.

So I love the mishmash of Hugh Jackman and Stephen Colbert and Ben Platt, who I see often still, and Andrew working on the film.

And then the people who are coming out of college programs who were really, really beaten down.

and need to find their chi energy again to basically shine because they lost the light in their eyes and they lost the color in their face.

So that's the kind of thing that also brings me so much joy.

And then the other part of the same thing is I said to myself way long ago, I said, okay, I'm enjoying this now and,

It feels like how much fun am I having while I'm making a living?

Wow, did I ever expect that to be the case?

Pardon me.

It's so New York dry and rainy here.
