I think my entire career path was determined for me when I was 6 years old, watching reruns of 'I Love Lucy' on TV and thinking about making people laugh.

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.

Part of what I do comes from the fact that I don't know any jokes to tell. And when I do they're really flat and don't work.

I feel the only way I'm going to be successful in moving on is if I keep a separation.

I was looking for a last name that was a first name. Growing up, I knew a kid who was the most obnoxious kid I ever knew, and his last name was Herman.

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'd love to direct, and I think I'd be a great director, but... I've been approved by the studio to direct, which I think is a cool jump of faith for them. Or proof that they're really stupid. But I don't think so.

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.

I have a deal with a company that's going to do cards without the gum. I don't like sugarless gum, and I don't think it's much better for you.

I usually go in ahead of time, like at a rehearsal, or a meeting, and tell them, It may appear that I'm going to go haywire, but I'm not. I always map out what I'm going to do. Still, a lot of it is improvised.

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.

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.

There were just things in Disney movies that probably were too scary for kids.

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

I take having a kids' show real seriously. I think it's an enormous responsibility.

I was always in disguise. I'd wear masks or weird get-ups so you couldn't recognize me. I was always afraid that if somebody caught on that it was me, I'd never work again.

I'd love to do a talk show. But I'm too busy for it. It's just too much work.

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

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'm the person with the final say on everything. I really love being in that position.
