More quotes by 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 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
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 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.

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
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.

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

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
It's a lot easier to say you're a comic than a performance artist.
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'd love to do a talk show. But I'm too busy for it. It's just too much work.
Paul Reubens
I know you are, but what am I?
Paul Reubens
We're in a situation now where fewer and fewer small films get made. People want these big giant tentpole sort of things, and I don't know, it's getting harder and harder to make a small movie.
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
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
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
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
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
