I miss that process of getting the script and reading it and working on it. Every actor has their own way of memorizing their lines, and the whole process of starting to work with the other actors and the director, and doing rehearsals, and going to the location, and going through wardrobe.
I miss working with great actors, working with great directors.
The public was used to a Pauly Shore film coming out every year or two, you understand? So when that went away, the public lost familiarity with me.
'Entourage' is a staple L.A.-based show, and people say it's pretty real, and I thought it was. It's an exaggeration of the truth.
I don't think any of us would be who we are if our parents weren't who they were. People that are in show business, and their parents are not in show business, their parents probably motivated them to get in show business.
The best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period. When you work in movies, or on TV shows, there are 50 other people involved.

People should stop poking fun at other people and worry about themselves.
When you put yourself out into the world and say, 'Hey, look at me,' you're going to get criticized.
Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me. I was just inherently funny when I was a kid.
I think the best comedy comes from stuff that's based in reality.
When you deal with a comedian who has a specific act, you can't hold 'em back. You got to work with 'em, dude. What you think, I'm just gonna do what's on the page, say 'yes sir, no sir'? I'm creatively beyond that.
Then we basically wreck it and then we put it back together, ... And we have a nice environmental message in the thing.
The best comedy to me - and again, I grew up with comedy since I was a baby, so I've seen it all - is when you exaggerate the truth, like Richard Pryor did, you understand?
