Minnesotans Really Think They Run The Whole

I'm A Kid From Minnesota. I Like Seeing Movie Stars! So I'm There At The Ivy, I've Got My Shrimp, Eddie Murphy Comes In With His Gang. I Said To The Waiter, As Any Good Midwestern Boy Would, "hey, Put Eddie's Check On My American Express Card, But Don't Tell Him That I Did It 'til I'm Gone." Next Day I Got A Call From Manager Who Said, "eddie's Doing A Movie, He Was Very Impressed That You Bought Him Lunch." So Remember: Sometimes Buying People Lunch Can Really Work Out Well For You.

I Think What People Were Trying With Me Was To Figure Out Who I Was. They Thought I Was Funny, But They Were Like, "how Can We Use This Guy So He Can Regularly Do This?" Does That Make Any Sense? I Think People Were Trying To Figure Out If My Fat Peg Would Fit In Their Square Hole.

I Was A Terrible Actor. But John Hughes Liked Me, And He Encouraged Me. I Made Him Laugh, I Guess Is The Bottom Line, And Then He Gave Me That Part In Ferris Bueller's Day Off As The Flower Man. It's Just A Nothing Part In One Sense, But It's Such An Iconic Movie That People Will Ask Me From Time To Time, "are You In Ferris Bueller's Day Off?" "yeah."

I Have Added A Lot. There's Some Vegas Stuff And Hotel Stuff And A Whole Chunk On Health.

My Mom Ate Every Piece Of Butter In The Midwest, She Lived Till She Was 90. And My Dad, He Smoked, He Drank - We Finally Just Had To Kill Him.
