“We weren’t, like, rich people, but we were middle-class people and my parents supported this love I had for entertainment.”

If you’re just really loud, people just want – will give you what you want just to get you to shut up.

I think New Yorkers – they’re media savvy. People have a sense of humor.

A lot of people in Hollywood, and everywhere pretty much, operate on fear. No one wants to get fired, so everyone’s scared to take a chance.

Every actor-performer says this, and it sounds so irritating, but I’m not the most outgoing person.

I am invisible in gay bars.

I like talking to a person who is crazy in a fun, eccentric way. I don’t want to talk to a legitimate crazy person, because that’s not nice.

The most outrageous thing happened years ago in my YouTube days, when I asked an older lady – it was like a sexually flavored question and she just slapped me full-on across the face. That’s the one time someone got physically aggressive with me. And it hurt.

It was pop culture, entertainment, Hollywood, award shows – these are the things that really captivated me as a kid.

I started out as a very traditional actor. The first thing I ever did in terms of performance was singing.

What I do is make myself this over-the-top character that people either find endearing or they think is a joke. Then I can do anything I want.

I knew what I had to do. I knew I had to keep working at it and keep putting material out there, even if no one was paying me for it.

I have a medical condition, all right. It’s called caring too much, and it’s incurable. Also, I have eczema.

I spend the majority of my time in New York and LA. I feel like a large part of my following and my fans are probably in New York and LA because of the work that I do is very New York-LA-centric. So people do recognize me. But it’s nothing overwhelming at all.

Sometimes you go up to people who look totally normal and then you talk to them for a few seconds and you are like, Oh I better get out of this, because this person is a little mentally unbalanced, and they are not going to get a joke.

I never fully committed to the child actor thing. I also liked being a regular kid and being a student.

There have been man-on-the-street interviews for years, but insulting people is not that funny to me.
