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.

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

Self-parody is the first portent of age.

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

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

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

You do need to maintain some of yourself and know who you are, but that doesn't mean you can't evolve.

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.
