On the one hand, Zahn says Penny was so great and I loved her to death.

But on the other hand, he called her crazy as a sh house rat, man.

Just out of her mind in the greatest, most beautiful way.

I was up for this part and I wanted it so bad, Zahn said.

She goes, fly out to L.A. and meet me.

I get there, and Im at her house, and this guy comes out calling me Steve.

It was very strange.

I go into the house, I cant find her.

Hes like, shes on the phone.

She goes, Im back in my room, come back to my room.

Im like, how do I get there?

This is how I remember it and I could be wrong, but she said take the back staircase.

And then I ask the guy about it and he says, Theres no back staircase.

We just sat there and talked about the movie.

She had this big Lakers jersey, and we ate bacon.

She was on some diet that was like, yeah, bacons good for you.
