He's such an open person that I know very well," Mercedes expressed."But it did really surprise me to see it with an audience. I'm so used to people not understanding my dad. I'm so used to his public image being different than the playful, funny person that we know."
"It did really move me and surprise me to see audiences really see him for the first time," she continued."That was incredible. To see this collage of all of these different lives and selves, to see it narrativized lucidly and to see an audience...
