I was married for 10 minutes into a Southern family.
I think the older you get, the more 'let's cut to the chase' you get, 'let's quit quibbling about this, let's tell it like it is.'
Things have always sort of happened for me. Something else always comes up.
The fun part for me is to just really push that envelope.
That's my opportunity to hide behind that old lady and say what I want to say.
I didn't plan on going into show business. Show business picked me. And it's been fun. One of the best things about being in show business is people think they know me, and they feel like they grew up with me.
It's my opportunity to say all the things that are politically incorrect. It's all the stuff we're thinking about but don't say anymore.
