He was a doctor, came here, learned English from watching television. You know what I mean? Has the American success story. I was born here. All of it was about making him proud. That's what I was trying to do. And then I think that throughout my like adolescence I realized that it was something that was always going to be withheld from me.

And then it was to make more than my dad had ever made in his whole life.
