I'm probably most proud of this one as I was 'Son-in-Law' and 'Encino Man,'
I think the best comedy comes from stuff that's based in reality.
Comedy wasn't something I chose - it chose me. I was just inherently funny when I was a kid.
I kind of was raised at The Comedy Store by comedians. When you see my dad on stage before me and then you see me, you'll see where I got a lot of my stuff.
Death isn't a funny thing. We're all lucky to be living.
That's the biggest rule in Hollywood: Don't spend your own money.
My mom is two people to me. She's my mom number one, and then she's this lady most comedians know as being a legendary owner of a nightclub that's responsible for starting a lot of heavy careers.
I remember taking mushrooms at the wrap party, it was like the first and last time I took that.
People should stop poking fun at other people and worry about themselves. The reality is that my movies all have made money.
The MTV thing is the thing that I will always tip my hat to because that was like my acting class and how I got comfortable in front of a camera and how I kind of created my own thing.
I want to do an 'Extreme Makeover' show. You know that MTV show 'I Want To Have A Famous Face'? Well, I want to do a new show. I want to have a different famous face.
Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.
Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.
My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that's where I started, that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.
