HW: Do you appreciate a great hair cut?
AS: I've never, never been excited about going. I don't have a great hair-do. It's not great hair to touch. People get sickened by it. For years I've been
looking for the right stylist and then I just started shaving it right to the bone. That's the only way to make it look half-way decent. I enjoyed learning a lot about hair, how to cut hair and how much of an art form it is and how much work it is. Usually when you sit in a chair to get a haircut, you're like, “Just get this done, buddy, let's move on with our lives. Now I look at a guy and go--you've got to do some thinking back there.”
HW: You’ve had a lot of fun with Judaism over the years. Was there a point where you realized the humor inherent in Judaism?
AS: Oh man, no. I mean I grew up in a house that liked to be funny. Everybody liked to be funny. A lot of my friends were funny, they happened to be Jewish too. No, there wasn't a point…my family's been--we've been enjoying each other's comedy for years.
