Listen, I hear you.
I think I had this –
Because I started late.
I spent all my 20s, my whole 20s basically in the Marines.
I didn't take my first improv class until I was 28 years old.
And I joined the Marines when I was 19.
So I just didn't...
It's not a lost decade.
It was a great decade.
I wouldn't trade it for a single minute.
But I wasn't doing what all my peers were doing, which was taking the classes, getting on stage, working on their either act or their skills.
So I felt like I started so late.
that I felt like there was this constant fire under my ass to get something done, figure it out quicker, figure it out faster, find some way to get traction.
I always felt that heat on my backside.
That's it.
What you need.
That's the word.
It's about resilience and discipline.
If you don't learn those habits early, they're really hard to learn later.
Right.
