[ light laughter ] so we thought we could sell it as a room. [ laughter ] >> you probably did. >> jimmy: we did. we got my best friend, and he was like 6'3", my friend dennis.

and he would sleep -- we'd charge him $150 a month. >> oh, dennis. >> jimmy: he would sleep in the closet, and his feet would hang out the end of the closet. [ laughter ] but then, weirdly enough, what happened was he got a dart board and a boom box and he made his room cool. [ laughter ] and we were all kind of jealous. he would be having parties in his closet. and we'd be like, "hey, what's going on in there, man?" like, he would not invite us. >> well, i tell you, that studio was better. i was modeling at the time, and when i first moved to new york, i was living with several other models in a model's apartments. you know, the agencies sort of find these apartments for these young girls. and you all go in and live together. and models are crazy. you know, there was all sorts of people high jinks and people stealing your things. >> jimmy: what did they take? >> well, there was this one girl who started stealing the other girls' panties.
