INTERVIEW:
David Cross

kp: Has success changed you? Has it changed your act? 
DC:
Success has made me completely disregard my financial situation, something that had never happened until about seven years ago. It's absolutely the coolest thing to not have to think about that shit anymore. I remember being in Westwood (home of the beautiful UCLA campus of beautifuls) back in '86 with my friend John Ennis (from Mr Show) and we were sleeping in our car, and getting into all sorts of harmless trouble. And I remember seeing all these rich fucks and thinking that I'd have it made when i can walk down the street and go "I'm cold" and walk into a store and buy a sweater right then and there. (this was before I had a credit card obviously). Well my friends, I can now do this...and pay for it with bars of gold!!!! So, yeah, it's changed me that way. 

As far as my act is concerned, it hasn't changed my attitude or what subjects I talk about, but it has changed the way I approach my act, in that I don't have the luxury of being unknown, and therefore "surprising". I used to go on stage in "character" and try to get the audience believing that I was gay, or nervous, or retarded, or whatever and make the place get uncomfortable before continuing. I can't do that anymore which kinda sucks, but it's a nice trade-off to have people come to see me specifically.

On a side note, I'm always amused when I read or hear a celebrity say that success hasn't changed them, they're still the same old Matt Damon everyone from school remembers. What a load of pure bullshit! Either they are incredibly un-observant (and therefore shouldn't be acting) or they are in a perpetual state of catatonia. Those people are liars. 

kp: Is Bob really a dick? Are you? 
DC:
Bob is not a dick. Nor am I. We are in fact, assholes.
