What prompted you to come see me?

0:00:10.163,0:00:13.523
<i>(Interviewer 1) Great question.[br]We would ask you that!</i>

0:00:13.523,0:00:14.178
<i>(Interviewer 2) Yeah.</i>

0:00:14.178,0:00:18.002
How so? What do you mean?[br]I didn't invite you.

I came to Hollywood in '61.

0:00:30.899,0:00:41.027
We found an apartment on an estate[br]in the Hollywood Hills and rented it.

0:00:41.027,0:00:46.963
The second night we're there,[br]we hear a rustling outside.

0:00:46.963,0:00:52.451
So she went, peeped[br]through the blinds of the window

0:00:52.451,0:00:58.066
and there was a large avocado tree[br]growing right up next to the apartment,

0:00:58.066,0:01:01.299
and she beckoned me over.

0:01:01.299,0:01:05.203
I looked down, [br]and there were two raccoons,

0:01:05.203,0:01:09.476
sitting on their back,[br]chewing on avocados.

0:01:09.476,0:01:14.099
And I said, "This is for me."

0:01:14.099,0:01:19.556
I've been chewing on avocados[br]ever since I got here.

0:01:19.556,0:01:20.675
<i>(laughter)</i>

0:01:20.675,0:01:22.722
(No 2) Are you still involved with[br]showbiz now?

0:01:22.722,0:01:27.299
Are you doing anything behind the scenes, or-?

0:01:27.299,0:01:29.891
Would you like a kiss?

0:01:29.891,0:01:30.932
(laughter)

0:01:30.932,0:01:40.964
Yeah, I'm still involved in show business.[br]I tour with a one-man show.

0:01:40.964,0:01:52.035
I do movies if you're making them,[br]and I'm quite viable...

0:01:52.035,0:01:55.890
in every sense of the word.

0:01:55.890,0:01:56.965

0:01:56.965,0:02:07.220
I have four children, and the youngest,[br]who's now 27, was deemed autistic

0:02:07.220,0:02:15.268
at 7 or 8, which is late. He's a[br]high-functioning autistic.

0:02:15.268,0:02:24.546
My lady at the time often said that she[br]doesn't think he's got autism,

0:02:24.546,0:02:27.044
she thinks he has Asner-ism.

0:02:27.044,0:02:30.550
(laughter)

0:02:30.550,0:02:35.829
There was a time when he was riding[br]with me as a kid,

0:02:35.829,0:02:42.788
and I already had some fame, and a cop[br]pulled me over.

0:02:42.788,0:02:46.242
I did a wrong turn or something,[br]and a cop pulled me over.

0:02:46.242,0:02:55.636
And as the cop came up to the window to[br]write the ticket, Charlie leaned over towards

0:02:55.636,0:02:59.155
the window and he said, 'Do you know who[br]you're talking to?'

0:02:59.155,0:03:01.588
I went Shhhh!

0:03:01.588,0:03:09.028
And that's one of the main efforts we[br]have, to get law enforcement to

0:03:09.028,0:03:17.396
understand there are these types of[br]people, that they cannot exercise ordinary

0:03:17.396,0:03:28.435
tough cop bullshit. They've got to assess[br]the situation and respond accordingly.

0:03:28.435,0:03:35.203
I've often said that the world would be a[br]happier place if it was run by autistics.

0:03:35.203,0:03:39.541
And it may well be.

0:03:39.541,0:03:44.517
(No 1) So you've had an incredible[br]career, anything that you've done in-

0:03:44.517,0:03:50.915
Only the beginning of it. I'm not heralded[br]in every hallway in the world.

0:03:50.915,0:03:55.253
I still have to be discovered by a lot of[br]people.

0:03:55.253,0:03:57.460
INTERVIEWERS: Have you ever done stand up?

0:03:57.460,0:04:01.764
No. I can't even do good sit down.
