My Tone And My Style Are Reflected

So Much Of Hollywood Is About Who The People You Work With Are.

You Become Funny For A Reason. I Became An Actor Because That's Who I Was, Nothing Else - It Was The Only Thing I Was Good At. You Become A Clown And You Make People Laugh Because A) It Protects You From Everything, And B) It's This Validating Force In Your Life. And When You're 12 And 13 Years Old, You Need Validation And You're Lost And You're Kind Of Floating And You Suffer From A Severe Learning Disability And You're Overweight And You Have Glasses... You Become Funny For A Reason.

Hollywood Used To Be Run By Artists And People Who Loved Artists... People Who Wanted To Make Movies For All The Right Reasons. For The Love. The Art. To Tell Stories. Yes To Make Money As Well, But It Was About Both. Now I Feel, It's Mostly About Bottom Line And Making Money.

Being Onstage Is Like Being Rock Star. Whereas If You're Doing A Movie, It's Such A Confined Space. You Know, You Do A Comedy, It's So Hard, Too, 'cause With A Comedy, There's No Vocal Reaction, There's No Energy That You Get Back That Spurs You On To Be Funnier Because Everyone Has To Be Quiet.

I Fired A Bunch Of People And Kind Of Went Back To My Roots. I Fired My Agent - I Had This Big, Fancy Agent And A Big Fancy Manager And A Big Fancy Lawyer - And I Went Back To My First Agent And Said, "i Want To Go Back To Just Being An Actor."
