And I'm always so happy to be on NPR because I'm such an NPR fan and such an NPR head.

Yeah.

My mom, when I was about nine years old, she had never traveled anywhere in her life.

And she, right before then, she took a trip to France and fell in love with it and said, okay, you're going to learn French, you're going to go to an immersion school, and someday maybe you'll be a French actor.

And so they dropped me in where it was a school, Le Lycée Francais de Los Angeles, that does everything in French.

So it was science and math and history, everything in French.

And I cried for about six months.

And then

And then I spoke fluently and got over it.

Well, actually, I have.

Yeah, I quit smoking.

When I quit smoking, I went to a hypnotist, and I was a really, really big smoker.

So I tried everything, and I tried to quit a million times.

And, you know, like everybody, I'd get edgy or I'd gain weight or I couldn't sleep.

So I went to this guy and, you know, wrote the check for $90 and said,

He said a few things.

I felt a little sleepy.

But other than that, I didn't, you know, didn't go into any kind of trance.

And I left thinking, well, this is dumb.
