or at least in the sonogram. I don't know which direction was north or south here, because it's its own world. But they looked like they were sitting across from each other.
Just sort of like twitching. I mean, they're in a different position every time we see them.
What comes to mind is listening and then saying, I'm sorry. Those are two things that I think Fathers are not, you know, when men are getting a lot of shit. And these days, when are they not? But, you know, men can be good people. They can be great people. They can be great dads. Dads can be great. And unfortunately, there are enough of us who have shown us otherwise, right?
But fathers can be great. And I think, but what we do not,
attribute to a father much I think is saying something like I'm sorry and like really listening and like you know what I mean yeah I think that's like almost like baseline people are like oh no just like go to your mom if you have a mom because like the dad's not gonna listen so I think it's like nice that you're acknowledging I'm trying to be opposite there just just in those at least I mean look there are other things that I do it's not like I can only listen and say I'm sorry um that would imply I'm just constantly messing up and
I hear you and I'm sorry.
I like, what was I even thinking? That's a nice...
That's actually, I've thought about this. I'm not sure exactly how I saw myself. I think, well, what I can be sure about is that I was in that particular period of 12, 13, 14, I was a bit horrified by like very, very, very self-conscious, extremely self-conscious.
I mean, probably mostly the way that I looked and then also the way that I sounded. So those are the two.
Well, before my voice changed, like anybody, I had a bit of a high and nasally voice. Um, and so also I moved to LA to become an actor when I was 12. So I was simultaneously pursuing, you know, this career. And I mean, I had no idea what I was getting into, but I think that made me self-conscious.
So, I mean, everybody, I think a lot of people go through this and a lot of times it's just, it just is what it is. I was, I was pretty chubby and there was a period where I was fat, you know, and that happened to have a big impact on my, on the way I felt about myself. It did. It really did.
Yeah, yeah. Well, and for me, you know, the truth is like I was a pretty constitutionally skinny kid and it was this period where my parents' marriage was falling apart. We lived, we were really isolated. We lived in the middle of... we were on a mountain in outside of a town called Issaquah in Washington state. Um, it might be quite developed now, but in the mid nineties it was not.
And, uh, we had, we had moved very suddenly from the East coast, very far away. So, uh, so, and my cat died on the third day of moving there, just didn't come home. So I was like eight, I think. And, um, and I was just, you know, had no social outlet vibe at home was, uh, Yeah, it was, you know, what happens when divorce is like quite needed. So yeah, I was, I was sad as, as kids can be.
I think as many kids, you know, are, as you're kind of coming into your consciousness and
Yeah, that's that's that part. Definitely.
Yeah. Well, or I mean, it's normal for you don't know it's not normal.
That's an interesting question, because I... From 12 years old on, my memories feel a bit void of parents, even though my mom was present. I mean, I moved with my mom to LA. In fact, when I visit here now, it's surreal when I'm in places that I used to be when I was very young.
Yeah. I mean, a lot of actor kids, this is the case. Because why is a kid going to truly pick up and leave with one parent? You're not leaving a flourishing family life behind. So that tended to be the pattern.
yeah i mean it's so early so early i don't even know when i was 14 i i i saw my um my parents dance together it was long after they've been divorced uh It was at a function for a show I was on. And they danced together for one song. And they sort of hugged.
But what it was, it demonstrated a closeness that I didn't realize until years later when I was like, why do I remember this and think about it every now and then? Because it made me uncomfortable. It made me feel a type of way that I couldn't identify. But that is to say they demonstrated a closeness that I had like, you know, never seen them have.
