When I left my parents' home when I was 19, I went to the University of Florida, and within 24 hours was in the mental health department. And within 20 minutes, I was being told by the director there that they didn't have what I needed there.

I think I wanted to write a book about the relationship between the victim and perpetrator in which the victim agrees to remain silent.

If you're injured, it changes the way you move. If you're injured, it changes the way you talk.

College kids, don't be taking examples from me.

Doctors didn't know what to do with me.

Everyone always told me that I had the symptoms of a P.O.W.

I belong to the Democratic Party.

I don't know if I want to be a big star though.

I had a dad you know.

I have to give the SNL crew props - it cannot have been easy to work with me.

I perform in the major leagues of what I do. It's incredible.

I was diagnosed with everything from schizophrenia to multiple personality disorder.

I was never in a mental institution for a long time. I was in psych wards.

I'll get to make a lot of money and do some bad sitcoms.

I'm not a doctor - so I can't describe flashbacks well - but it is like you're living it again.

I'm not sure how a world leader reacts to the work of a clown.

I've learned sometimes you just have to take the bad from people.

I've seen the hell these people go through.

If I can get a sanitized version of reality, I'll take it.

It's tough to play the right chord on the instrument when there's someone out there who wants to kill you.
