Like, you really have to sacrifice a lot, and I\u2019ve sacrificed everything I have to sacrifice for many, many years, and I think I\u2019m at a point in my life where I want to spend more time with my wife and kids. If a job on a TV show comes up, like I\u2019ve talked to [Eric Kripke] about The Boys stuff, like, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ll come play with you for a month.
