More quotes by 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.

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.

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.
