That first moment of acceptance at this thing you would love to do.
Wasn't a paycheck even.
I would say the next
Thing is getting the paycheck.
The first one.
Oh, my God.
They like me enough to be in the school play next.
Oh, my God.
They like me enough to pay me for my stupid ideas or my, you know, comedy, whatever it is.
Can't believe it.
I'm not saying better.
I'm not saying that felt better.
I'm saying it doesn't get better.
That joy...
is the same whether you get the smallest part in your first school play or you win the Emmy.
I can't say I felt better.
As a matter of fact, you win the Emmy, you're like, oh shit, I have to go on stage now and make a speech in front of the world.
Terrifying.
But it's ameliorated by the fact that you won an Emmy.
There is that.
