I don't have a negative perception of clowns.
I really didn't want to expand the negative vision of clowns because clowns are not intrinsically scary.
I enjoyed clowns when I was a kid going to the circus. Mainly I mean the good clowns, when you go to a circus.
As I see it, fast food outfits have targeted small children with their advertising in a very effective way. You know, it's clowns and kid's toys and bright colors and things like that.
I did my thesis on clowns. It's a powerful thing when you've got this little red nose on. It's a mask, the smallest in the world, but it unveils you. You stand up there and do these exercises that free you, let you play, and see what comes out. What comes out is the truth.
If you ask anybody what they think of clowns, it's associated as much or more with something crazy and scary as it is something joyful.
I don't give a crap about clowns.
I want people to watch us and think, 'They're idiots. They're clowns,' I want them to watch us and think Tommy Cooper or Spike Milligan.
Other comedians got love for me. But don't get it twisted - I'm not a clown, I'm a comedian and work hard as an artist. Clowns go to college.
I'm dealing with fools and trolls and soft targets. It's just strafing runs in my underwear before my first cup of coffee. I don't have time for these clowns.
