Why didn't I get offered better movies?

Why didn't I get this other development deal?

Why didn't I get more money for this?

Why did Jeremy Piven win the Emmy, for Christ's sakes?

But this is part of kind of the spiritual conundrum.

And, you know, I'm a member of the Baha'i faith.

And the son of the founder of the Baha'i faith, Abdul Baha, came to America about 100 years ago.

And there's a story I love because he landed in America.

He was going to do a

speaking tour, essentially, kind of like an Adam Grant does.

And a reporter said, hey, do Baha'is believe in Satan?

And Abdul Baha said, yes, they do.

And the reporter's like, oh, what is Satan to a Baha'i?

And Abdul Baha said, the insistent self.

So I love that idea that Satan is not some boogeyman creature with red scales or something like that, but that we have this battle within us.

And this is in every faith tradition in the world.

But I came up against that hard during the office.

And it was, just ask my wife, it was some very difficult times.

And I had to do a lot of

soul searching during that time and therapy and whatnot to kind of come out on the other side of that.
