Yeah.
I think I picked something different.
Not ultimately, but I picked something different to sort of have something that was my own.
And I think about it a lot because as supportive as my dad was, he was so supportive.
He always told me like, pick two things to be good at, which I thought was really good advice.
But I...
He could say all those things to me.
He could support me as much as he wanted to.
But when you have somebody in your house who shifts culture seismically, it's really hard to not take that in and feel like a failure if you don't achieve anything close to that.
So I think, yeah, I think having some kind of like academic spin was my way of being like, oh yeah, but I'm not even, I'm not even trying for that.
But, you know, and the truth is obviously I, you know, now I'm very lucky I get to write and have like a very even career between writing and producing and directing and acting.
But, you know,
Yeah, I would be lying if I said that I don't think of my dad's accomplishments and sometimes want to just shrink at the...
at the idea that whatever my legacy is, whatever it is I accomplish, I just know it's not going to be that because I also know what the sacrifice was for him.
I mean, he's almost died so many times.
I don't want to do that.
I don't want to do that.
I value my alone time.
I value my inner life, and I value the kind of balance between
feeling good in my own life and feeling good about what I put out into the world.
