Are they showing up in the work that you do? Because I feel like it is.

And I just, like, every time you get to this point, you start to get emotional. I'm just wanting to know, what is it?

You mentioned Boyd Crowder, and that's from the show Justified. It debuted in 2010. It ran for six seasons. Your character, Boyd, he's this charismatic outlaw. And you star alongside Timothy Oliphant, who plays U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. And both of you are shaped by the same world, but of course you have different outcomes.

And I want to play it because it kind of goes back to something you're talking about when you keep going back to home, like the foundation of who you are. So at the end of the series, when Boyd is in prison and Raylan comes to deliver some news to him face-to-face... you all say this thing and your character speaks first. Let's listen.

Some of the things you said about yourself when you were young are all the things you shared, but there's also, was there a moment in time when there could have been another path for you?
