We sang at the chapel annexed to the home every morning. We understood that this was the humans' moon, the place for howling beyond purpose.

I feel like I almost didn't grow up in the business, because my parents worked so hard at sheltering us from that. I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago. ↗
