I wouldn't sell my bike for all the money in the world. Not for a hundred million, trillion, billion dollars!

I'm just trying to illustrate that it's okay to be different - not that it's good, not that it's bad, but that it's all right. I'm trying to tell kids to have a good time and to encourage them to be creative and to question things.

I think the first time I was on The David Letterman Show, he didn't quite know what to expect. I think people generally are just a little afraid.

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.

I don't really want to direct myself, but I'm certainly torn in that direction.

The public already knows about me more than I ever wanted it to know.

I take having a kids' show real seriously. I think it's an enormous responsibility.
