Transcript

00:00 I went through a crazy time in Hollywood.

00:02 Oh, my God, yeah. It was mad, wasn't it?

00:04 But they sort of... It keeps happening. I know.

00:06 But they sort of allow you to behave in a certain way, don't they?

00:08 Oh, yes. You are allowed, you're enabled to be...

00:11 Enabled is a good word, yes.

00:12 I suppose if you're in a position of some success,

00:15 people will let you be a nutter as long as they're making money out of it.

00:19 Yes. Basically. Absolutely.

00:20 Like, if you're drinking or doing drugs or being crazy.

00:23 But there's a certain point where they don't really like it, I think,

00:26 cos no-one likes to be annoyed all the time.

00:28 So there'll be a point where they go,

00:30 "Hmm, we could probably make money out of that person."

00:32 So, in a way, it's not good to live like that.

00:34 But it was sort of an exciting experience.

00:37 But most of the things that you consider to be fame

00:40 are just the symptoms of other people making money out of you.
