Pauly Shore

We all have a past; it's just that my past is out there for all to see.

My mom is two people to me. She's my mom number one, and then she's this lady most comedians know as being a legendary owner of a nightclub that's responsible for starting a lot of heavy careers.

My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that's where I started, that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
