All these kids in Hollywood, the people born and raised out here, their parents are all in show business, and that's why I think we're good. That's why we're on top of the game now because we were born in it.
When you're onstage, it's important to try and feel some type of therapy in getting the material out, because then you don't leave the stage so tired. If you're onstage and you're doing the same routine over and over, then it gets monotonous. You want to be able to try to get to the truth constantly, and I think the more you do that, the easier it is.
Physically, my character is stronger than him which is totally unrealistic, ... Because in reality he can ... kill me. I think it has a lot to do with (him being) the youngest of all of his brothers, and I think he got beat up a lot.
When I shot the movie, I wasn't gonna think about anything except for being the biggest knucklehead in the world.
I think as a standup performer you have to feel the audience. So the audience kind of dictates what they get, you know?
I think you gotta look at stuff half-full as opposed to half-empty.
Well, 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. And it's hard, man. They brainwash you to think you're doing the right thing.
You'd think when you saw my old MTV stuff that I was always drunk and high and all that stuff. I wasn't.
Sesame Street... I think they were all high. With Big Bird, they had to be high.
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.
