I was doing stand up comedy when I was 11, that's how I got started; not because I wanted to do comedy, but because we were broke, living in Echo Park in Downtown Los Angeles, from 1986, I saw the Rodney King riots; my parents didn't really work. But I wanted a new backpack, that's how I got into this business - I wanted a new backpack.
My family, my parents are hippies.
Agents are used to the parents pimping. They're not used to the kid pimping.
No, I come for a hippy lifestyle, it's very open; my parents are both hippies.
In my parents' generation, rebellion was pop culture. It's not anymore.
There's never been a parent in my life.
I grew up around a lot of aggressive guys. My parents used to take me to AA meetings when I was very young. So I know aggression, I know insanity.
My parents are retired, basically.
I'm not a celebrity, I've kind of been under the radar, has kept it easier for me to maintain a career.
I like messing around, and I like working with artists who I respect.
I'm Richie Rich. I land in New York, secretly thinking I'm like the coolest guy in the world.
I'm a call-sheet junkie. I love being on set. So, the hardest thing for me is dealing with all this idle time. That's when I get into trouble.
Oh, I've been in love with every woman I've ever worked with.
There's only so far you can take a relationship before you got to get into things that are too serious or over the top.
