The public may think I'm weird. They may think I'm crazy or anything that anyone wants to think about me. That's all fine. As long as one of the things you're not thinking about me is that I'm a pedophile. Because that's not true.

A large part of the reason I want to be so mysterious is so that I can move on and do something serious at some point in my career X years from now. It might be very difficult otherwise, because I'm... wild

The first time I met Prince he invented me to his birthday party in Minneapolis. It was a costume party and I came as a beatnik - a beret and a charcoal goatee. He was dressed like an executioner. I talked to him for awhile and he didn't know who I was, and when I told him he was real surprised.

I probably have become more infamous from two misdemeanors than probably anyone I could think of.

It's a lot easier to say you're a comic than a performance artist.

I just feel in a lot of ways black people are so much looser and cooler. Just as a culture, it's so much more real.

I would love to be in Kansas.
Paul Reubens
I've always felt like a kid, and I still feel like a kid, and I've never had any problem tapping into my childhood, and my kid side.
Paul Reubens
The moment that I realized my name was going to be said in the same sentence as children and sex, that's really intense. That's something I knew from that very moment, whatever happens past that point, something's out there in the air that is really bad.

I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars!

People read so much into what I do. It's fascinating to me because some of it's probably there, but I haven't thought of it.
Paul Reubens
I enjoy getting to be arty and quirky and weird and all the things that I don't have that much choice with. You just sort of use what you got.

It's the most natural progression for me to becoming a singing sensation next. And so many people have offered to be on it. Eddie Van Halen... and Prince, Madonna and Cyndi Lauper will probably be a backup trio.
