I definitely have to respect that about him or any actor, really. Kevin Smith was the same way when I met him. He and I got to just BS for 15 minutes, talking comics and movies.

Thanks for doing this AMA!

How is Chris Rock in person?

I have a few questions; please answer what you wish :)

• Was this your first-ever experience with a mental facility?

• During the court case, when your "not guilty by reason of insanity" plea was accepted, what was your reaction? Did you feel relief because you were avoiding jail time? What were your reactions when you learned of the upcoming stay at the hospital (dread, fright, curiosity)?

• In the facility, what was communication like? I saw that you had mentioned phone usage in a few other comments. Was phone usage permitted only a few times a day/week? Was it heavily monitored? Where were your visitors permitted to go/not to go?

• In your opinion, what was the dumbest/most WTF rule that patients had to follow in the hospital?

• This may be a bit personal, so again feel free to ignore, but as one of the highest functioning patients there, what was your reaction to those who exemplified traditional/stereotypical "crazy" on a regular basis? Did you ever say things like "Am I seriously looked upon in the same way as these people? Am I one of them?" Or was this something that never bothered/affected you, like you thought "It's a big facility and each of us has a unique case; it's unfair/dumb to group us all together under one collective description"?

• How do you deal with the stigmata that is attached to "someone who has been in a mental hospital?" After all, most of society has this singular, degrading view of mental treatment facilities thanks to everything from media portrayals to even Halloween attractions. Personally, I think it is frustratingly wrong that mental health care is singled out like this; you wouldn't see movies/TV DARE to attach the same degradation to, for example, a cancer ward.

Thank you!
