Earliest on, basic values of respect yourself, respect others.
Give a damn about yourself, give a damn about others.
Combined with a mother that wherever we went in the world, that we might've been a little nervous to take a risk at, she was like, don't walk in there like you wanna buy the place, walk in like you own it.
So a sort of boosting up of what you could say is massive ego, but also you were not allowed to walk on your proverbial toes in our family.
You were brought down.
And if anyone in our family, if anything, I would say going back, I think mom and dad maybe could have been a little more lenient with the successes that we had.
And when we did parade, when my brother did win the track meet,
and walk through the house like this, to allow him to do that, you weren't allowed to do that.
You were immediately humbled, no matter if you were coming right off a victory or a win or a box office hit, you weren't allowed to.
At the same time, you were raised up once you were humbled.
That balance.
We were taught resilience, heavy, heavy duty resilience, baseline gratitude.

Okay.
Like sobering.
These were, were these aphorisms from my mother?
Yeah, but they were pounded into us.
All right.
