The arguments are, well, now I need a publicist because I have something to publicize, so okay.

I don't need a manager because I have an agent.

I don't need a business manager because I'm pretty good at understanding my own business.

So you're in a different position when you're older.

I remember I was working on a movie and the movie wrapped early and I stayed around with the crew and

you know, drank, and I came home.

I was drunk driving home, you know, which is never a good thing to do.

I wasn't drunk drunk, but I'd had too much to drink.

You can't ever get in a car when you've had too much to drink.

But it was very helpful to, you know, have people that instead of like laughing about the fact that I'd had,

instead of two and came home and got home without getting, you know, without getting in trouble for it, instead of thinking that was funny, they were like, dude, that's not cool and you shouldn't do that again.
