Korean people have big fucking heads, you always say. White people, it's easy to make glasses for them. And though you have the money to buy whatever the fuck glasses you want, they don't make them for your big fucking Korean head. You once did a video with Shaquille O'Neal and wore his hat. It fit you. That motherfucker is 7ft lin.
You are, like, 5ft 7in. Your glasses are the largest ones Oliver Peoples carries. Even the widest glasses you can find look like someone stretched them around a bowling ball. You have to go to Koreatown to get glasses. But have you ever seen the glasses Koreans wear? Not very dope. People don't get you sometimes.
On the Sugar Ray video for "Someday", you were casting dancers and this one superhot blonde girl in a bikini came up to you. And she was doing the fucking sexiest dance on earth and she was unbelievable. She had a Chinese symbol tattooed on her lower back and you go, "What does that symbol mean?" And she says, "Oh, some gook put that on me."

And you say, "Oh," and she senses the weirdness and says, "Oh, I'm sorry.
I thought you were an Eskimo." None of that matters, though. What matters is the song. The song always matters. Before you do a video, you listen to the song, oh God... to infinity. You'll listen over and over and over and over again until it becomes like an anthem to you. Usually, you'll play it on your computer at, like, two in the morning, or else in the car or walking around with headphones.
Listening is a rare pleasure. You're so busy most of the time, it's the one thingthat always keeps you grounded. You need to stay grounded. There are a lot of freaks out there. Courtney Love, for instance. Courtney Love didn't like your ideas. She hated them. When you did the video for "Be a Man", Courtney Love walked onto the set and started drinking.
