Like I said about when I worked at Microsoft is, okay, I might fall on my face, but it's all right.

I've just learned to be myself and ask the question.

I had read with my daughters, Phoebe and Jen, when they were younger, all of his teenage novels for teens.

And then I read Ann Patchett is a friend of mine.

She told me to read that.

I loved it.

She's also been on the show.

oh she's fantastic i met her only because of my first book we became fast friends when i went and toured about my first book she's wonderful you know all the best people so

Yes, definitely.

You know, I grew up in the Catholic church, went to K through 12 to Catholic school.

And in grade school, we went to church Monday, Wednesday, Friday before we went to class.

And then, of course, you went on Sunday.

Of course.

Family on Sundays.

And I'm saying that because when you're a little kid and you have that much time in church, you have a lot of time to think.

And some of it – but also some of what was being said at the pulpit just didn't make sense to me as a little kid.

I just – it was like they said that, but then I see them act that way.

Like, you know, some of the priests were actually really mean to the kids.

And so –

Anyway, long story short, just in the arc of my life, I've come to feel more that God is – definitely there's no one God.
