My parents moved out to California in 1968 from Ohio in a VW station wagon pulling a little trailer. I was 4 months old. They were following the energy out here.

Twenty years ago, I was living in a lovely cottage on the edge of Dartmoor but I couldn't afford to run a car.

When I was nine years old, my family lost our home, and the six of us moved into my grandparents' converted garage.

I travel in a Ford Econoline van with a trailer. So it's not quite so glamorous.

I didn't come from a trailer park. I grew up middle class and my dad had money and my mom made my lunch. I got a car when I was sixteen. I'm proud of that.

Later, my father died up in Marysville. So, my mother and I got in the car and came down to Hollywood.

I was a college dropout, hitchhiking across the Midwest. That was part of the old, adventurous spirit.
