By seeing that, it was the first time I'd seen, like outside of a funeral, I'd seen a dead body that just had a violent ending.

Because I think I've seen so many movies where I've just seen dead people that it just was like a movie to me.

And I didn't have any reaction to it.

When the first days I moved to L.A., you know, I've lived in L.A.

since 98, 99.

And like I was back there in the crazy days on Hollywood Boulevard where we're still thriving.

And there was this weird store and inside you could smell death.

And I looked in and there was something laying down there.

And again, not affected by it.

I go, I think that's a dead body.

The guy's like, get out of there.

There's no dead body.

Go away.

But it smelled like death.

But I still was really amazed.

That was probably the first time I saw a dead body.

Then this was the second one.

But I was just amazed by not how affected I was by seeing this.

Like I've been programmed and conditioned to see these things.

which normally back in the day would be a giant moment.
