00:00How can we get back on the right track?
00:07Anytime you get to talk about Chris Farley is a good day, man.
00:12Well, my, the frickin' God!
00:15Funniest guy I am.
00:17He's nuts, nuts.
00:18When I walked through Chicago with him, oh my God, it's Chris Farley, it's Chris Farley, it's Chris Farley.
00:22Everybody cries for this, right?
00:25Don't give up, Richard.
00:26His natural ability is just natural.
00:30I haven't had sex with a woman.
00:33I don't know how that works.
00:34Make like an egg and beat it!
00:37And he was infectious, and he was kind, and he was a puppy dog.
00:41He was this boy that wanted to do good, but then there was this other side of him.
00:46So his whole life was this constant battle.
00:49Success in show business does not always create the best version of people.
00:53And also thinking that you have the physical capacity to handle it, which, you know, you may think that you can handle it.
00:58It's not going to change the man.
00:59What are you saying, oh, Chris?
01:00Yeah.
01:00Nothing's going to happen here.
01:02It's a tough thing to deal with that kind of fame when you're that famous.
01:06And if it happens fast, it's almost lethal.
01:09You can't walk around being funny all the time.
01:12You have to be yourself sometimes, and you have to be alone sometimes.
01:15You don't die at 33.
01:17It doesn't happen.
01:18It comes up in something in my mind every day, and I think it will forever.
01:23The poor world only got to see this part of the iceberg that is Chris.
01:28It may not be Ken doll, but it comes together, and it's extremely attractive.
01:33This is the physicality.
01:34You saw his quality as an actor there.
01:36You know, when everybody's decided who's the funniest, you go, Farley was the funniest.
01:40Our generation was into him.
01:42And Chris just stops, and he turns me right at the edge of the curtains and goes,
01:45This is what we're going to do for the rest of our lives.
01:49There's a category of people that I work with that are infuriatingly talented.
01:54As long as they're in this world, I think you always recognize whatever it is when you see it.
02:00You're always drawn to that.
02:01You're always drawn to that.
