I did have a vision for myself at a very early age of what I wanted to do with my life and what kind of stories I wanted to tell.

It's never, you know, you don't ever expect anything, you know, so it's extremely flattering, rewarding, and it feels energizing to get, of course, a Peabody or a Gotham or something.

You know, to be honored in AFI, for instance, which I just didn't know how extraordinarily special that is.

That's crazy.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, so you're like there in that room and it's like your show is selected from 600.

There's like 10 that they select from 600 and then like...

next to you the 10 films of the year and it's everywhere all at once and it's Spielberg and James Cameron and you're like what am I doing you're right that's crazy yeah you do pinch yourself in that situation you're like oh cool and then you get a letter from Spielberg saying like how much he loves the show oh my god

You're like, I quit.

Spielberg?

I'm out.

Mic drop moment?

Yeah.

No, it's cool.

It's affirming.

But this business sucks, man.

Because once you do that, you feel good for like two seconds.

And you're like, what's next?

What am I going to do next?

And what am I going to tell?
