Yeah.

So there were many reasons.

And I was shy, and I didn't go through the high school thing.

For whatever reason, my father, the anthropologist, archaeologist, was more off on that tangent.

I never had a dad going, ho, ho, ho, we are men, you know, kind of thing.

So I gravitated more towards my mother's thought process than my father's.

And she was a big influence, right?

Yeah, very much so.

My father as well, just different.

And he was always clear how much he loved me and proud of me and all that stuff.

But so I was overly sensitized, male, skinny, you know, so I was really unsure of myself.

Just a little parenthesis, when I went back to a 25th or 15th reunion at Kent School for Boys, my prep school, for about a day, I was very rock and roll because of Cheers.

Everyone, da-da-da-da, wow, cheers.

Then they got bored with that very quickly, and I found myself the second day walking behind—

this big group of people who were now over the fact that I was playing Sam Malone.

And I was walking by myself and I had this realization that I almost had to become a celebrity to earn the right to walk through the door.

for whatever complex reasons in my upbringing and my whatever, whatever, I was that unsure of myself.

And I have to say, I love the fact that people know me from my work and I have the excuse to say hello now.

It's a great place to hide.

Yeah, I misbehaved in my second marriage.
