Quote

I don't care about how I look I'm dedicated to the laughs. You know, I used to be a clown, so - my name was Smoothie the Clown. All the training I had, all my training is geared toward making people laugh, and I didn't care about being cool.

Two years after that, I got married because my girlfriend got pregnant. The year after my wedding, my father - who I had only recently met - died.
