There's a lot of people out there who didn't like my style of comedy.

Son-In-Law was kind of my crossover. It was the movie that brought me out of the MTV audience into the mainstream.

Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.

I liked Evel Knievel, and that game Mouse Trap. That was pretty cool.

I fly around with chicks on each arm and have no script. I just talk about what I feel like. But that's why my act works: I'm like this normal guy.

Hollywood people don't want to be embarrassed by being involved with someone who isn't happening and cool at the time. But I never made the movies for the critics; I've done the best I could with the material and the directors and the actors I had. But the thing that's really exciting is that once I do that one project that's different, that stands out, everyone's gonna be watching.

I was one of the first veejays to take the camera out on location, and that's what was unique about MTV at that time.
