What prompted you to come see me?

0:00:11.290,0:00:13.513
<i>(Interviewer 1) Great question.[br]We would ask you that!</i>

0:00:13.513,0:00:14.283
<i>(Interviewer 2) Yeah.</i>

0:00:14.283,0:00:16.231
How so? What do you mean?[br]I didn't invite you.

I came to Hollywood in '61.

0:00:46.502,0:00:55.458
We found an apartment on an estate[br]in the Hollywood Hills and rented it.

0:00:55.458,0:01:00.570
The second night we're there,[br]we hear a rustling outside.

0:01:00.570,0:01:09.999
So she went, peeped[br]through the blinds of the window

0:01:09.999,0:01:13.688
and there was a large avocado tree[br]growing right up next to the apartment,

0:01:13.688,0:01:15.926
and she beckoned me over.

0:01:15.926,0:01:19.118
I looked down, [br]and there were two raccoons,

0:01:19.118,0:01:27.329
sitting on their back,[br]chewing on avocados.

0:01:27.329,0:01:27.989
And I said, "This is for me."

0:01:27.989,0:01:28.649
I've been chewing on avocados[br]ever since I got here.

0:01:28.649,0:01:32.401
<i>(laughter)</i>

0:01:32.401,0:01:32.901
(No 2) Are you still involved with[br]showbiz now?

0:01:32.901,0:01:33.151
Are you doing anything behind the scenes, or-?

0:01:33.151,0:01:33.276
Would you like a kiss?

0:01:33.276,0:01:33.401
(laughter)

0:01:33.401,0:01:40.893
Yeah, I'm still involved in show business.[br]I tour with a one-man show.

0:01:43.583,0:01:52.938
I do movies if you're making them,[br]and I'm quite viable...

0:01:52.938,0:01:55.209
in every sense of the word.

0:01:55.209,0:01:56.436
<i>(laughter)</i>

0:01:56.436,0:02:07.167
I have four children, and the youngest,[br]who's now 27, was deemed autistic

0:02:07.167,0:02:15.420
at 7 or 8, which is late. He's a[br]high-functioning autistic.

0:02:15.420,0:02:24.266
My lady at the time often said that she[br]doesn't think he's got autism,

0:02:24.266,0:02:28.094
she thinks he has Asner-ism.

0:02:28.094,0:02:30.725
(laughter)

0:02:30.725,0:02:35.004
There was a time when he was riding[br]with me as a kid,

0:02:35.004,0:02:42.033
and I already had some fame, and a cop[br]pulled me over.

0:02:42.033,0:02:45.469
I did a wrong turn or something,[br]and a cop pulled me over.

0:02:45.469,0:02:55.230
And as the cop came up to the window to[br]write the ticket, Charlie leaned over towards

0:02:55.230,0:02:59.504
the window and he said, 'Do you know who[br]you're talking to?'

0:02:59.504,0:03:01.843
I went Shhhh!

0:03:01.843,0:03:08.934
And that's one of the main efforts we[br]have, to get law enforcement to

0:03:08.934,0:03:17.445
understand there are these types of[br]people, that they cannot exercise ordinary

0:03:17.445,0:03:28.359
tough cop bullshit. They've got to assess[br]the situation and respond accordingly.

0:03:30.039,0:03:34.634
I've often said that the world would be a[br]happier place if it was run by autistics.

0:03:34.634,0:03:39.602
And it may well be.

0:03:39.602,0:03:44.175
(No 1) So you've had an incredible[br]career, anything that you've done in-

0:03:44.175,0:03:50.693
Only the beginning of it. I'm not heralded[br]in every hallway in the world.

0:03:50.693,0:03:54.422
I still have to be discovered by a lot of[br]people.

0:03:54.422,0:03:56.863
INTERVIEWERS: Have you ever done stand up?

0:03:56.863,0:04:02.146
No. I can't even do good sit down.
