00:00Devon, it's interesting, you didn't have show business parents, but your parents, they went to such lengths to make sure you succeeded.
00:06No one that we have traced in our genealogical past has artistic gifts.
00:13I genuinely do not know where this came from.
00:18No, but it was cool because my parents were just kind of like, my parents taught me at a young age, like, these are your gifts.
00:26That was something that I knew that was very different from other kids, that, like, it would almost be like a whisper.
00:31Like, well, you know what I mean?
00:32Like, let's say, I don't know, we're out and about shopping or whatever, and maybe I would just, like, goof off and be humming, and my mom would be like, that's real.
00:42That's a real gift that you have.
00:44And I was like, oh, okay.
00:46So I was made aware of it at a young age, and so when I switched gears and got into acting, and when I had got into Yale, my father was very happy.
00:55Because of the Ivy League portion of the equation, and got all the lanyards and all the things, and I was like, you know, it's for acting, though, right?
01:03He goes, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:06You went to Yale.
01:07And I never forget, at my graduation, Scorsese spoke, was, like, the keynote speaker, and my dad was like, talk to him, you need to get a job!
01:15And I was like, please, stop that!
01:19But, yeah, they've been so supportive, and I can't even imagine what that would be like.
01:25And as I was, like, growing into my artistry, I kind of always wanted that, although I was so grateful for what my parents did,
01:32but because I was kind of, like, on my own and figuring this out.
