I still needed to audition for some roles, but a lot of roles were blind offers to me for the success I already had. Matthew McConaughey: I had lived in Hollywood for a little while. This is after you’ve become a well-known person in society. Joe Sills: One of the things that surprised me in this book is that you spent a long time living out of a van and traveling around America. When I looked back, I realized I actually remembered more than I forgot. I always wrote those things down so I would not forget then. How does the world work? What is my relationship in it? What is an idiosyncrasy of someone I found funny?
Probably the coolest thing was seeing that the things I was writing about at 15-the subjects I was interested in-I am still interested in at 50. Some of the stuff I felt shameful about, I had forgiven myself for, or I realized it was time to. Maybe I was able to laugh because I had learned that life lesson, or maybe some of the offenses I had committed I was still repeat offending. The stuff I thought I was going to be embarrassed about, I laughed at myself about.
But then, as I got into it, I started to notice that it was funnier than I thought. Sometimes, I would shake my head shamefully. I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy what I saw.
Matthew McConaughey: It was sort of intimidating. Joe Sills: In some cases, you crack that seal and you’re back in your own head decades ago.
