: Hello Cuppa Tea Old Chum greetings from England!
Cheers.
: Looking back at your childhood is there any songs that remind of of events that you look
back on with a smile sir?
It's not from childhood, but whenever I hear Seal's "Kiss From a Rose", it takes me back to a
very distinct place in my life.
It's 1995, we're out in L.A. editing (or should I say, WATCHING the editing of) "Mallrats". I'm
in the Universal Hilton in the valley. Scott and I spend our days on the Universal lot, I spend
my nights with Joey Adams. I didn't even know what the internet was. We were told by the
studio that our movie was gonna do killer business. That song was popular.
It was this period where I was just starting to understand how drastically my life had
changed. I was no longer working at a convenience store, I'd just wrapped my first studio
movie, in which my dopey ideas were deemed worthy of millions of dollars, I was falling in
love with a type of person I'd never known before, I was living in a semi-posh (though, at
the time, insanely posh, to me) hotel. Even though I was only twenty four (I'd become
twenty five by that summer's end), I got this feeling that I wasn't a kid anymore. Didn't feel
old or anything; just felt like "Wow - so this is what it's like being an adult?"
Oddly enough, when I think back on that time, that moment, this thirty two year old (thirty
three, this week) can only smile at the twenty five year old who thought THAT was
adulthood.
