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.

More quotes by Paul Reubens
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.
Paul Reubens
I've been super lucky in that I've either been in or helped create situations where I do what I want. I'm super lucky. I get to do what I want and create art and make people laugh, and it's really fun.
Paul Reubens
I probably have become more infamous from two misdemeanors than probably anyone I could think of.
Paul Reubens
I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars!
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.
Paul Reubens
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.
Paul Reubens
I'd love to do a talk show. But I'm too busy for it. It's just too much work.
Paul Reubens
I'm the person with the final say on everything. I really love being in that position.
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
You'd get on the plane and every single person is somebody really, really famous. It just killed me. On one flight you'd have Linda Gray, O.J. Simpson, Robert De Niro, Carol Burnett, Loni Anderson and Burt Reynolds... and Francis Ford Coppola.
Paul Reubens
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.
Paul Reubens
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.
Paul Reubens
I'm fortunately not in a situation where someone owns me.
Paul Reubens
I'm going to try to do as many styles as I can. A salsa number, rock and roll, country.... I've talked to a million people about it. Obviously, I'd love Prince to do it. I'm sure he'll produce the whole album for me.
Paul Reubens
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
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.
Paul Reubens
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.
Paul Reubens
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.
Paul Reubens
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.
Paul Reubens
I know you are, but what am I?
