:40:02
We didn't get along.
He was a disgusting drunk.
:40:05
What about your hereditary
father? Your actual, actual--
:40:08
Oh, he was a drug pusher
and he was also a car thief.
:40:12
He picked pockets and, you know,
he burgled and stuff.
:40:15
- And he was an epileptic.
- Uh-huh. You haven't left
anything out, right?
:40:18
- Mail fraud!
- Oh, mail fraud. Oh, okay, yeah.
:40:21
- That's what they caught him on.
- Uh-huh.
:40:23
Hey, you got an appetite
like a lumberjack.
:40:26
Oh. Well, thank you.
:40:28
Oh, it's fine.
Eat all you want.
:40:30
I'm very hungry, actually.
Um, so then I ran away when I was 14.
:40:34
Mm-hmm.
:40:35
And I went away with
this musician named Johnny.
:40:38
And it was terrible because
we fought all the time, Lenny.
:40:41
Finally,
he committed suicide.
:40:43
And for years I thought it
was because of my cooking.
:40:46
He always hated my clam sauce.
:40:48
And so then I kicked around
from Chicago, Philadelphia, you know.
:40:51
All over the place.
And I ended up here.
:40:53
You never thought of
just getting a regular job?
:40:56
Oh, yeah. Sure, I did.
No, I did things.
:40:58
I waited on tables. I worked
in a massage parlor. I did phone sex.
:41:02
Now and then I would, you know, turn a
few tricks in order to make some dough.
:41:05
And one day my friend Susie calls me and
she asks me if I want to be in a film.
:41:09
Something called Snatch Happy.
And I said, "Sure."
:41:12
And I remember
I was very nervous...
:41:14
because I'd never done it in front of
people with a camera before, you know.
:41:18
And so there I am on the first day,
on the set.
:41:21
And there's this guy
fucking me from behind, right?
:41:24
And there's these two huge guys dressed
like cops in my mouth at the same time.
:41:27
And I remember
thinking to myself,
:41:30
"I like acting. I wanna study."
:41:34
Yes, well.
It's a-- It's a--
:41:37
That's one way
of getting into the profession.
:41:40
Um, tell me about
your family a little bit.
:41:42
What? I told you already.
You could write a book by now.
:41:45
But, but were there
any unusual members?
:41:47
- Very bright ones or brilliant
or talented or something.
- Mmm! Yes!
:41:50
- I'm sorry. There was.
- Mmm.
:41:52
My father's brother
was supposed to be a genius.
:41:54
I never met him, but everybody
said he was brilliant.
:41:56
- Really? What did he do?
- He was a serial rapist.
He spent his whole life in jail.
