My Fear Is If I Expose Myself, Not So Much That I'll Be Hurt, But That The Reaction Will Be "is That All There Is? Is That The Entirety Of You? Because It's Boring."
I'm Enough Of An Optimist And A Patriot To Believe That In U.s. You Have A Lot Of Opportunity And Can Do Pretty Much Anything You Want In Some Form. For Me, The Idea Of Failure Is Far Preferable To The Idea Of Regret.
If You Say "i'm Going To Be An Actor, But I'll Get A Teaching Degree Just In Case," When Things Get Hard, You'll Just Be A Teacher And That's How You Get Stuck.
All My Friends Were Girls. Then My Mom's Strident Feminism For Years Where Men Were Thought Of As The Enemy, I Just Didn't Know What The Right Way To Be A Man Was.
I Never Really Understood What Was Expected Of Me As A Man, Or How I Was Supposed To Interact With Women, But Worse, With Other Guys. I Did Not Relate To Them.
The Things I Care About Are The Most Pedestrian Things In The World. I Care About Good Ice Cream And Being A Good Dad And A Decent Husband.
The Whole Idea Of Punk Rock Is That You're Dressing Yourself In A Crazy Leather Jacket With Safety Pins And A Mohawk. The Idea Of Being The Rebel Is A Boring Societal Idea. It's Such A Type. And That's What I Was, Without Knowing It.
Things You Never Thought Were Going To Turn Into Something End Up Being The Most Important Things In Your Life. You Have To Learn To Not Try To Control It.
I Thought I'd Be Living A Much More Bohemian Life And Be Very Poor. I Never Thought I'd Do Comedy Or Be Married Living In The Suburbs. Every Time I Try To Plan My Life Out It Just Doesn't Come To Pass, And I Think That's A Great Experience.
Whatever Expectations I Had For Myself, None Of Them Have Come To Pass. I Grew Up Thinking I Was Going To Be An Actor, Which I Am. But I Thought I'd Be A Very Serious Sort Of Shakespearean Guy Going From Town To Town Having Sex With Various Juliets All Over The Country.
It Doesn't Matter What You're Chasing, When You Get There You're Gonna Be Like, "oh, Is This All? It Kind Of Sucks."
