It's very weird because the 'It' guy usually is not the 'It' guy next year or even a guy that anyone is talking about.

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.

The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time.

I'd love to go to school and have a normal life, but I don't see any professor at Yale being able to teach me more than Steven Spielberg.

I don't know, I just want to be happy. I could be in a hole somewhere. Or I could completely lose it and be some hippy living in the woods with my dad.

I've never been able to learn from other people's mistakes - I'm not that smart - so I usually learn by trial by fire.
