I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.

When I started out, I didn't feel like I was really accepted in the music or comedy communities, and I was somewhere on the edge, but now I feel like I'm accepted in both, which is extremely gratifying.

I was a huge fan of 'Mad' magazine when I was 11, 12, 13 years old. I'd scour used bookstores trying to find back issues, and I'd wait at the newsstand for a new issue to come out. My life revolved around it.

As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.

I'm obviously not a rapper, and I don't have any claims to be one, really.

A lot of rap songs don't usually have a lot of melody per se.

You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.
