Evan: My dad said,
"Come stay with me." And I thought,
"Great," you know, "My dad can't say
anything about my life because he hasn't really been
involved in it since I was nine." My dad was turning over
a new leaf at this point. He'd gotten remarried. He'd sort of gotten back

there was music playing. There was always people there, there was always
food on the table. It was just, like, cozy

let you do this because you owe me." (chuckles) And I think
my dad felt like, "This is my chance to step
up and take care of you in a way that I maybe
should've before."
