I’ve been reading the books. It’s the origination, it’s the primary source. You should always go back to the books.

Book Reading Source
Even though my parents experiences were different from mine. I wasn’t a child actor brat; I didn’t travel with them in the circuit. But I got a look into their world, so I did know what I was getting into, to an extent. And they are a constant source of grounding.
