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.

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 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
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.
Paul Reubens
I'm fortunately not in a situation where someone owns me.
Paul Reubens
I feel the only way I'm going to be successful in moving on is if I keep a separation.
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
It's a lot easier to say you're a comic than a performance artist.
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.

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'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.
Paul Reubens
I take having a kids' show real seriously. I think it's an enormous responsibility.
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
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.
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
I probably have become more infamous from two misdemeanors than probably anyone I could think of.
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
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
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.
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'd love to do a talk show. But I'm too busy for it. It's just too much work.
