It's ironic, really, because I've spent the bulk of my career making my living in a very commercial realm: network television. And yet, my sensibilities don't necessarily line up with how I pay my rent.

When I was a comic in the 1980s, I was on the road somewhere every day, and I'd get back to the hotel, and it was Carson and Letterman, and I looked forward to that all day.

I also had a hosting position on a home and garden television show - which is a joke if you ever see my apartment.

All I ever wanted to do was be able to pay my rent.

'Rent' was my first professional job, ever.

It's funny... musical theater is what paid my rent and kept me going for the longest time.

When I was doing all this acting stuff, all these kids, like, assumed, 'Oh, my God, you're on TV, and you probably have a lot of money.' And I was living in a garage.

I was in 'Rent,' for God's sake. The closest we came to stunts was dancing on a table.

Johnny Knoxville went from struggling to pay his rent to being on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' in the course of, like, a month.
