I used to eat lunch with Billy Wilder when I first came out here.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I knew Billy Wilder socially and would have loved to work with him.
My brother Billy was the joke teller. My brother Jim had a really sharp, cutting wit. And the teller of long stories, that was my brother Ed. As a child, I just absorbed everything they said, and I was always in competition for the laughs.
I used to work for a catering company - I waitressed for Harry Winston events. I remember being so hungry, I would eat when I was supposed to be catering to other people.
In 'Billy Madison,' I worked with Adam before anyone really knew he was Adam Sandler.
Any story that Billy Wilder told, you can tell in a Western.
I get to hang out with Billy Bob Thornton at his house. We hang out over there every time we're in L.A., because he doesn't go out. We'll hang and he'll play us some of his tunes. It's pretty awesome.
Apparently I had lunch with Johnny Depp when I was three months old.
I used to hang out with a bunch of old punk rockers when I was a little kid.
I was at dinner with Gene Wilder and imitated Ethel Barrymore for everyone.
My influences were Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis and Chuck Berry.
