down the street and somebody will look at you like they know you, and it's because they spent a week in bed watching some series you did and they see you and they're like, What? Is this my friend? When you've been around as long as I have... I'm going to ride this ship to put these kids in private school, maybe into college, and then I can retire and open a waffle restaurant with my friend, Oscar, here." The conversation turns to what kids have access to on TV these days versus when we were growing up, and how we relate differently now. "You see something that you used to relate to in such a strong way. It's like the Joker. Like the Joker, I would've loved that in my 20s. I still thought it was great, but there was also another side of me that was like, What? What? What's the point?" He laughs. "I hope no one sees it like, I'm going to get more attention if I shoot people up. I hope that doesn't happen, but I think it's cool. I think Joaquin is amazing and the filmmaking was amazing. I feel that way about a lot of music, too. In my early 20s, you hear a song and you're like, 'God, this hits my soul, connects me to something so deep.' And now, I'm like, 'It's just a song,'" he laughs. "But now, I get my inspiration from my daughter's smile after she gets a basket at her game and jumps up and down." We chat about his former residence here in the West Village. He used to live in a brownstone owned by the church. "They hadn't been remodeled since the 1800s. We had these guys put up a plasma flatscreen on the wall. Hammered it and they stepped back, and it immediately crashed to the floor. We looked in the walls and it's like, back then, the technique was to put horse hair in the plaster and the paint is all thick and filled with lead. We had an amazing backyard that went into the courtyard of this beautiful church over here, so you just deal with a little lead. It's New York City," he laughs. In Los Angeles, Jeremy and his family have a lot more space, which is good as they have a house full of pets, including a couple of dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, a horse, hermit crabs, and baby hamsters. After fifty minutes and a brief lull, Jeremy says in an exaggerated tone, "You take the five smartest things I've said, make them 20% smarter, add a couple of touches here and there, and we'll all be great!" He laughs. ML
