    Which pre-fame job do you remember most fondly, all right? Working at a bindery that printed men's magazines, working as a dishwasher at a diner, or working as a model for a figure drawing class to pay the rent? I liked them all. Dishwashing was fun because it was a very simple thing. It was social. It was very cool. Posing for art classes was fun, too, because that had a degree of performance to it. You're naked, which is always fun. It was fun to see the students. And then I'd look at their work and it's like, whoa! You know, confronted with it. Really ugly. I look like that to you, my dear? Beautiful suburban housewife? I'm sorry. Either you don't got it or I don't got it. No, I'm kidding.
