I parody myself every chance I get. I try to make fun of myself and let people know that I'm a human being, and these things that have happened to me are real. I'm not just some cartoon who exists and suddenly doesn't exist.

My personal taste doesn't enter into it a lot when I make my decisions as to what to parody.

I see parody as another form of comedy.

I think to simply make fun of something isn't particularly interesting. I try to not just do a parody of something or belittle something or disparage something.

By the very nature of satire or parody, you have to love and respect your target and respect it enough to understand every aspect of it, so you can more effectively make fun of it.

I'd like to say that parody is a celebration of a person's specific characteristics, as opposed to mockery.

Whenever I do a parody it's not meant to make you hate anybody's music really.

Anybody who does not evolve can become a self-parody. I have to evolve on a daily basis just to keep my own interest in what I do.

There are writers who do start doing the same thing again and again and almost inevitably fall into self-parody.

Reminiscence and self-parody are part of remaining true to oneself.
