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

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.

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

I think a lot of the time you just parody yourself.

After ten or twelve years you can only play something so long and then you start to parody it.

I see parody as another form of comedy.

We live in an age that's very suspicious of preachy political rhetoric, which means that there's room for art that approaches these issues from the side - as satire, as parody, or as a kind of outlandish speculative proposition.

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.
