My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.

Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.

Christmas was really where I started coming into my own as a performer because I did all this stuff on my own, all this performing on my own. When other kids were outside playing, I was in my room conjuring characters and impressions and things like that.

I try to stay in decent shape always. I pride myself on staying at least a month away from really good shape.

I don't think I'm ever going to have the kind of life or schedule that I can really have a steady way of doing things.

I have been the guy who has everything but yet is so one-track minded about what I want, that I can't see my blessings.

That's the trouble with being me. At this point, nobody gives a damn what my problem is. I could literally have a tumor on the side of my head and they'd be like, 'Yeah, big deal. I'd eat a tumor every morning for the kinda money you're pulling down.'
