He said, “I honestly never thought that I would get an opportunity to act, and I love it a lot. And it takes like three hours — you have to get there three hours earlier to cover all your tattoos because, for some reason, people in movies don’t have them that much.
…So now I’m burning them off. Burning them off is worse than getting them. Because not only are they, like, burning off your skin, but you’re wearing these big goggles, right? So you can’t see anything, and the doctor’s in there with you.
Before [the doctor] goes to laser each tattoo, you have to hear him announce what the tattoo is to make sure if you want to keep it or not. I’ll just be sitting there all high off of the Pro-Nox — which is actually quite fun, I enjoy it — and then all of a sudden I’ll just hear, ‘Are we keeping the Stewie Griffin smoking a blunt?’ And then I have to sit there and be like, ‘No, Dr. G.'”
