<p>He said: "Here's a bit of trivia for you. The very first time I went to Disneyland I was transported to another place, within moments of being arrested. I was brought to a surprisingly friendly processing center, given a strict warning, and returned to, if memory serves, one very disappointed group chaperone. I've been sitting on that shame for a while and I'm just going to release it here tonight.</p>

"I would like to make amends to whoever had to detain me for smoking pot in a gondola without a license. And I don't wanna further confuse the issue by insinuating that pot smoking licenses for the gondola are in any way obtainable."</p>
