Are you serious about wanting to meet Pauly Shore?
*laughs*
No, not at all. Is that still on my MySpace? I like Pauly Shore because he’s totally just disappeared so hard that now he just does a whole load of self-aware stuff about how he’s got no career. He put out some film called “Where the hell is Pauly Shore” or something. What was he in? Encino Man; Brendon Fraiser’s break.
No, I would choose a lot of people to meet before I met Pauly Shore, but if I did meet him, I would be thrilled.
What’s the meanest thing you’ve ever done?
Meanest? Not getting you tickets. Oh, and that dude I killed.
I try not to be very mean. Have I done anything mean that you can think of? Can anyone think of a mean thing they’ve done? You don’t really walk around thinking about all the mean things you’ve done, you probably did them because you didn’t think they were mean. Probably, the mean things I’ve done other people think are mean and I thought I did with excellent intentions. No, I’ve got nothing.
I hit people when I’m playing sport. I actually – it’s so ridiculous – but I actually gave up playing sport because of this game I played where I basically spent the whole game beating up this guy. He started it! And it was really awful, and you’re carrying sticks in my particular choice of sport, and I spent the whole game just smacking him and tripping him over and shit, cos he just made me so angry. I just got off the field and went “I’m a fuckwit when I play hockey. I’m not going to do that any more”. And now I’m fat.
Have you ever been a checkout chick or the male equivalent?
I have worked in a hardware store. I’ve mostly worked in bars or restaurants. I haven’t done anything but act or play music – which includes shit gigs – since I finished music college in ’98. Which is good, that’s almost ten years. Before that, I did lots of café work, and working in hardware, which I hated, I just couldn’t learn all the shit so I just stood up, went out the back and lifted bags of concrete. I was hot back then. I had curly hair.
