“It started feeling like a chore," he told "Esquire" in an article published February 2020. "I started vocalizing that and not being heard: I was saying, 'I wanna go to school – I haven’t done a full year of school since first grade.’"

Still, he told Ellen DeGeneres in a 2018 interview that he is grateful for his hot, early career.

"I felt like some kid worked really, really hard, and I inherited all of his money, pretty much," he said. "It allows me to treat everything like a hobby, really."
