When you wear so many hats in society, you never know who you are. That's the beauty of it. Because once you find out who you are, you're screwed.

Throughout my life, I've been gratified that I've been able to keep the child in me alive and inspire others.

As a kid, I always wanted to be lots of things. I was a Walter Mitty type. I wanted to be in the French Foreign Legion, a detective, a doctor, a test pilot with a scarf, a fisherman who hauled in a tremendous marlin after a 12-hour fight.

I don't paint every day. I'm not that motivated. I don't do anything the same every day.

I have never pretended to be any kind of super-religious kind of man, but I feel very strongly that you can be funny without being dirty.

My paintings and comedy have a lot in common. They are both improvisations based on observation.

I have a photographic memory; I just haven't developed it yet.
