And I was like, well, I'm a fan of yours. And we... Have been friends ever since. Oh, my God. Dear friends. She's one of my dearest friends.
I mean, it's like, you know, it's... Who else could be that person?
You have to think about your audience a little bit.
I think that's the most important thing to do when you are in the very lucky position to create shows is create something you want to watch because the odds are other people want to watch it too.
No, because it's really not a thing.
Insofar as you guys being brunettes shouldn't be a thing and being Asian shouldn't be a thing. Like you're a talented artist with something to say. That should be the thing.
But that is one of the things that I love about the entertainment business and about being storytellers is that we do sort of help society grow.
tip you know and i think we were so close to a tipping point with the trans community and with the perception of trans people and unfortunately the forces of um they scapegoated them they scapegoated them yeah and they they pulled them you know in this tug of war to the other side and turned people against them just totally based out of fear and bad statistics
I mean, you know, The L Word came back And I think it was the next gen, Gen Z. You know, that was less for me because I, you know, was more of an OG fan. But it was also just, I mean, just even fashion wise and, you know, just the way in which that we present ourselves.
Like, you know, when I was growing up in the nineties, you know, it was very like flannel shirt, unfortunate haircut times, you know. What was the haircut? I mean, I had a mullet. I did have a mullet. Yeah, more of a late 80s mullet. More of a late 80s mullet. Like more of a junior high kind of vibe. Got it. Or like even middle school. My style icon at the time was Alex P. Keaton from Family Ties.
He was the outlier of his family and I loved that show unknowingly because I was the outlier of my family. So even though he was playing this conservative Republican kid, I related to that character because it was almost as if he was the gay kid in his family.
But but then the L word, like the fashion was like on point. They were hot. They had cool haircuts. They did cool things. They went out. They forged this whole community and life, you know, that I just wanted so badly. And the irony is that just a few years later, I got to have it with those people. actresses who played those parts. And like, I just, you know, manifestation is real, baby.
Yeah. Also, it's going to make it a better write for you.
If you want to, you know, if that's the kind of thing you're going to be interested in watching, you'll be more interested in writing it too. And it won't make it as painful of a process, though it's always painful.
Oh, I was, I was pretty far. I mean, I was like 26 or 27. So I mean, that's how long of a dearth I was operating in. And I mean, I was, I kissed my first girl at 16. Totally seduced by a girl who had gone to boarding school and she knew things I didn't. And thank you so much.
And I didn't really know exactly what I was because I had actually weirdly been boy crazy before I had kissed a girl then became girl crazy.
And so, you know, this was long before fluidity or even bisexuality was like a really accepted thing. And so I wasn't really, I was like still sort of trying to figure myself out. And my mother at 17 years old, so I'm a senior in high school gave me a letter and she said, you're going to read this in the car and I'm going to, I'm going to drive and you're going to read it in front of me.
And she was driving me to my SAT tutor at the time. And I opened it up and it was two poems. One poem was a daughter talking to the mother. It rhymed. And it was something like, I don't know what to say when a girl walks by my way, I think I might be gay. And I'm reading this and I'm in no way, shape or form ready to like come out. And
Then the second letter is actually a poem from the mother to the daughter, also rhyming. And it says something like, you know, have no doubt, we'll figure it out. Like that kind of thing. And I was stunned. So my mother outed me at 17. I'm going to guess a full five years before I would have probably done so myself. And so that really started my journey.
Yeah. It was a shock. I would call it a shock because I wasn't ready.
