was when I was like earlier I was probably five or six years old and my brother had just passed away not too long before this actually and I would cry every time my dad would leave you know and my mom sat me down one time he said it tears him apart when you cry like this because he doesn't want to leave he's going out there he's making people happy he's giving people joy and he's doing what he came here on this earth to do

And he's supporting this family.

And so the support that my mother had for him

At that moment, I never cried again.

I was able to let go of that idea and then just from that point on work towards creating what would make me happy in my life and give me the same joy and then be able to take care of a family hopefully.

One of my greatest sources of pride is that I haven't had to ask my parents for anything.

I bought my own house.

I went and did Star is Born and I've been able to make myself –

And I think that makes my parents proud.

It makes my dad proud.

And that's what I've always wanted to do.

That's been my whole – my whole life is wanting to make them proud.

That's awesome.

I'm lucky in that way.

I know a lot of people have broken homes and grew up – and even –

I caught dad at a good time.

My dad was 55 or so when he had me.

And so he had already been through a lot of his demons and gotten through them and faced them and was still going through them at the time that I was born.

But he had come out of a life of habit and sort of formed the ones that would take him at that point to where he is now at 92 years old.

And so I got a good version of dad who had grown since.
