I work every day just like everybody else. 375 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,959 I'm a regular person, you know? Right now, I'm on vacation. 376 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,719 I leave my job and I come and I rock and roll. 377 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,079 And then I go back, and it's back to the same old bullshit. 378 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,679 We worked for 5 weeks, got paid nothing. 379 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,159 Not even one record company showed up. 380 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,519 -Have a good weekend? -Good, thanks. 381 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,639 -Okay, that's good. -How about you? 382 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,239 Not too bad.

She was good to her word. 389 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,279 I'm grateful. I don't regret a minute of it. 390 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,119 By the power invested in me by the province of Ontario, 391 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,839 it is my honour and delight to declare you henceforth 392 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,239 to be husband and wife. And you may kiss your bride. 393 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,159 See, guitar picks. 394 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,439 -Yeah. -Very neat. 395 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,999 All right, rock 'n' roll, baby. 396 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,519 So what's he given up over the years in order to do what he wants to do? 397 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,919 Well, making money. He gave that up. 398 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,679 And that was a little difficult for me to accept 399 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,399 because I'd like my children to go to school 400 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,519 and make something of themselves. 401 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,079 Typical Jewish immigrant parents. 402 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,479 Anyone that goes into the arts generally does not succeed. 403 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,439 It's a tough life and they didn't really want that for him. 404 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:44,879 But you also couldn't understand his choice.

I mean, it was a tough life that he chose for himself. 406 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:51,839 He wasn't going to be a tailor. 407 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,559 He wasn't going to go into the menswear business. 408 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,959 Steven is not a businessman. He's an artist. 409 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,159 That's who he is. He didn't want to live in mediocrity. 410 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:04,439 He'd rath
