It's a lot easier to say you're a comic than a performance artist.

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

I'm the person with the final say on everything. I really love being in that position.

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'd love to do a talk show. But I'm too busy for it. It's just too much work.

I don't think Bruce Willis can compete with me. I have a much better voice.

The original suit was designed by a guy named Mr. Jay from Hollywood. But nowadays I'm having the suit duplicated. At this point I have about three good suits and about three really raggedy ones.
