(2012, on A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) I was in New York doing,something. Or maybe it was Chicago. But I got a call asking if I wanted,to go to Detroit and film one really fun scene where I was a Santa,Claus selling weed. I knew the writers. So I just said yeah. I blew the,second 3-D puff of pot smoke in film history. Someone needs to add that,to my Wikipedia.
[on a particularly low moment in his stand-up comic career] I never,really gave up on Surrey, it gave up on me - before I got there.
There seems to be a connection between Really Smart Really Young and,then Crazy Later On.
I had a romance novel inside me, but I paid three sailors to beat it out of me with steel pipes.
I want to experience as many different tastes, sights, emotions, conflicts, and cultures as possible, so that I can expand the canvas of my memory and enrich my comedy.
