The hardest part about being a clown, it seems to me, would be that you're constantly referred to as a clown. ‘Who was that clown?,’ ‘I'm not working with that clown, did you hire that clown?,’ ‘The guy's a clown!’ How do you even start into being a clown, how do you know that you want to be a clown, I guess you get to a point where your pants look so bad, it's actually easier to become a clown than having the proper alterations done. Because if you think about it, a clown, if there isn't a circus around them, is really just a very annoying person. You're in the back seat of this guy’s Volkswagen, ‘What, you're picking somebody else up? Oh, man!’
