My dad was pretty strict. We didn't even get to watch any of his movies until I was, like, 17 years old. I didn't even see his stand-up, really, until I started doing stand-up, and that was when I was 22. So he's pretty strict. We had curfews until I was 17... he didn't play around. curfewdadmovie share on social

My dad didn't have a formal education, but he had a wonderful vocabulary.
