I become friends with people in each city who can show me around. Like if someone came to Los Angeles they wouldn't really know where to go, so they'd have to call me up and then I'd show them around.

People in bigger towns are very aware of their surroundings. The people in the smaller markets, they will show up with flip-flops and shorts and just kind of already have a buzz on.

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

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

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.

People should stop poking fun at other people and worry about themselves. The reality is that my movies all have made money.

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.
