I see parody as another form of comedy.

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 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.

You can parody and make fun of almost anything, but that does not turn the universe into a caricature.

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

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

I'm parodied as being some right-wing fundamentalist extremist, it just isn't true. The parody doesn't reflect reality.

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

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.

Satire is a lesson, parody is a game.
