thank you very much how you doing I'm excellent thanks do you mind if we talk a little bit about
yourself uh no all right let's let's go where are you from uh I was born in Los Angeles oh because
because now let me point this out uh your parents are show business people yeah actors and producers
and that kind of thing your mother is Paul was on the show at my father's what show was that
tattinger's the show he did in New York that's right you're right that's cameo in the taxes
absolutely right with your father but he wasn't a priest why don't you go out there and sit in the
hallway do you need a question you have a question so your father is Bruce Paltrow producer and your
mother is uh is a black dinner a fine actress a lovely woman and a fine actor so so at an early
age you probably that's what you were going to do be an actress did you know early on I think that
I did you know when when you grow up and watch your mommy pretend for a living it's a kind of
kind of interesting now did that provide for you a normal childhood or an abnormal childhood well
it was normal for me but I I suppose in the realm of America it's not quite normal do you remember
your first experience on stage or with the theater or whatever I think my very first experience was
my mother was doing uh the seagull checkoff play and uh I was three and apparently naked and took
it upon myself to get up and do her monologue so I think that was the first that was the first so
you actually walked out now was this during a production yeah it was just during a rehearsal
well that's nice it's a nice little touch a little in fact I do that frequently now no you don't
okay
uh were your parents strict with you or not what kind of a kid were you did you get in trouble a
lot or were you yeah as a teenager have you ever been arrested no really you have haven't you
no I mean I have no I've never been arrested we know you with those speedings because yes I've
had some speeding tickets but I've never been incarcerated it's never this I take advantage I
haven't seen me on an episode of cops all right TV boy get out of the car with your hands up come on
let's go spread them no that hasn't happened uh but you got into some Mischief yourself
what kind of things well you know I would sneak out of the house a lot how old were you
when this was going on 16 right but I would leave a note for them on my bed Mom and Dad
yeah I would say Mom and Dad I snuck out I'm not kidnapped I'm at this bar and you can punish me
when I get home wow and that was okay with Mom and Dad that their 16 year old daughter well I
guess it is better than being kidnapped isn't it I never got caught though and that was the
thing and the the uh they thought this was all right for you to be doing no certainly not but
but they never knew I would I would down the stairs of our townhouse with with the
golden retrievers on either side of me so they would think the noise was them I see and then
you and the dogs would go out and get drunk that's right that's good let's go out hunting
