| Then fuck man, there's nothing dead about me. I'm still alive. It wasn't an easy road to get this far. Fuck, I'm 27 right now and I dropped out of college when I was 19 to become a stuntman. I've only been making a living for a couple years now. That's a good 6 years of me just being a struggling dumb ass that nobody likes. There are so many people out there that during those years, treated me so badly, that everyday I just think, "Ha!" It is kind of important for me to make some money so I can show my dad you know. Do you want to get into films? I dont really have any aspirations of acting. I dont have anything against acting. I'm just not into going in to see agents and kissing their ass to pursue it, and have my black-and-white head shots, and try to maneuver my way in. If people come to me, then yeah right on. I do not want to be another aspiring actor in LA. I moved to LA like 4 months ago and I swear it's exactly what "Blind Date" made it out to be. Every last person is an actor. Everyone's full of shit and says they know everyone. I consider being an aspiring actor in LA the equivalent of someone walking into a gas station and buying a lottery ticket for the chance to win a million dollars. I consider what we do on Jackass to be more like the guy who says he doesn1t want the lottery ticket and just goes and throws himself in front of a bus and tries to get million dollars in a civil suit. Who's got the better chance of making a million? Were a problem that can't be ignored at this point. We don't need Jackass any more at all, cause I'm ready to make it everyone's problem anyway I can. Did you ever think it would go this far? I definitely never thought that I would get this far. I kind of thought maybe I'd have dome kind of Van Gogh thing where I'd have some sort of a message in a bottle kind of footage that would some-how be discovered after I was dead. If I had imagined this when I started out, I would have thought everything would have been great, I'd be having fun. To be in this situation, all it's done is made me feel more pressured. Sure I'm having a lot of fun, but it does is bring up the question, "what are you going to do next?" And, "strike while the iron's hot." Everyone's eyes are on me to watch me fail. Sometimes I almost prefer the days when It was just so easy to be a homeless loser. When a Whopper meant so much. Now I'm just a loser with more pressure. I'll just take it as it comes, and try not to take anything too seriously. Live forever, kick some ass. |
