ANDY DICK

I was a bad boy as a child.

I never really worked with Chris Farley, I hung out with him, but I had plans, I had big plans, movies, and I was in no hurry.

The Internet is a great place to find unconventional comedy that you can't find anywhere else.

I have a very dark sense of humor.

I wish over the years I had kept my private life private and my professional life a little more professional.

You cannot be this successful without having God on your side.

I laugh when I see people in pain. Sometimes I think it is a defense mechanism from childhood, where you're in so much pain you have to laugh. It is a survival mechanism.

I used to steal a lot. But I don't do that anymore, because I believe in karma.

I've always been with God, even in my darkest hour. That is why I say I am alive. I mean, I should have died a number of times.

In terms of being vulgar, I don't think you need to be violent unless it's slapstick, violence to yourself. That can be funny - we've all tripped and fallen on our faces.

I know it's corny, but laughter is a two-way gift, and hearing people laugh just warms me through and through.

My parents just neglected me, I wasn't abused or anything.

I grew up Presbyterian, just a basic Protestant upbringing. There were years in my life when I would go to church every Sunday and to Sunday school. Then I just phased out of it.

I believed in God my whole life, and then strayed away from it in my teen-age years, until recently.

Before I was known, I would go on stage and pretend I was other people. Once I pretended I was mentally handicapped. It was really wrong. One time I was a bad magician. And one time I pretended I was a Christian comic.

I definitely know that I play the part, however big or small, in the deaths of at least two people, Chris Farley and Phil Hartmann.

I say, 'I'm bi, my love knows no gender,' and the straight community says, 'Oh right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay!' And the gay community says, 'Yeah right, that's just a cover-up - you're gay.' They both want to push me gay.

People love to hate. I have a love-hate relationship with the world. The world loves to hate me.

I believed in God my whole life.

I really have to edit myself - I need someone with a censor button around me all the time. I'm just a little unaware of what's deemed appropriate.

I guess I'm odd-looking. I'm skinny. But I'm not only skinny - I'm oddly shaped.

I had no blood relatives till I made some.

There are atheists and Christians, and there are people in both groups who are a little too heavy-handed.

When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.

I love being recognized. I love talking with - can I say 'fans'?
