Trump Is A Businessman, But He Is Such A Creature Of The Entertainment World. It Feels That The Entertainment Industry Is More Entwined With Politics Than Ever Before. I Just Think He Is Who He Is. You Can't Blame Him For Being Who He Is. He's Always Been Like That. He's Our Fault - That's How I See It. We Let Him Come To Where He Is. I'm Not So Interested In Blaming Him; That's Being Done Enough By Others. I'm More Interested In: How Did This Happen?

I'm Just Looking At The Work, The Pleasure Of Being Able To Do The Work. And That's What The Fun Is: To Climb Up The Mountain Is The Fun, Not Standing At The Top. There's Nowhere To Go. But Climbing Up, That Struggle, That To Me Is Where The Fun Is. That To Me Is The Thrill. But Once That's Over, That's Kind Of It. I Don't Look Too Much Beyond That.

So I Was Out There Feeling Very Often Alone And My Kids Would Get That.
