"I was a metalhead and then I was into the rap and then I was a metalhead again."
"In Kevins movies I would like to stay Jay. But, yeah, Id love to do something else in someone elses movie. I got a script sent to me at this office and I got a call from a woman — Universals doing a snowboarding movie. Im not in it yet, but Im supposed to meet with the director in New York soon. Im waiting to hear back from them."
"I used to hang out with Bryan down at The Rec. They were going to a comic book show, Kevin, Bryan and Walter. Bryan invited me and told Kevin that Jason Mewes kids gonna come. And Kevin was like, "Oh, man, I dont want that dude going." Hes like, "I aint driving him." And Bryan was like, "All right. Ill drive." Kevin tells the story better, but when we were driving up — I dont remember, really, but he said I was saying all this stuff and Bryan and Walter were laughing and the whole time he was like, "This guy aint funny. He aint funny." He seemed like he really didnt like me. I think that was the first time I met him — he didnt want me coming with them to the comic book show. He didnt even know me, really, but he just didnt want me going. And then one day at The Rec I wound up doing something funny and thats when he started to like me."
"He asked me, "I wrote this movie and I wrote a part for you." Hes like, "Will you do it?" And I was like, "Sure!" I didnt think nothing of it. He wanted to do it, but I didnt think he was gonna do it. It didnt even cross my mind again for a few months. And then all of a sudden he called me up and hes like, "Yo, you gotta come pick the script up, were shooting the movie in like two weeks." … I was like, "What?" He was like, "Remember the movie I told you about? I wrote the part for you? Were doing it in like two weeks." I was like, "Oh shit. Cool." That was it."
"I started working at the Quick Stop with him. Every Sunday I used to go to the Quick Stop and we used to put the Sunday papers together at like five in the morning. And then after a while he got me a job at the video store next door. I used to lock up the store and go next door and hang out all the time and watch movies and stuff."
