Being infamous is not fun. It becomes a weird occupation in and of itself.
I became the face of the franchise in Miami, and I don't think they wanted me to be that. The respect was just never there.
I never wanted to be the guy people looked at. I don't think of myself as being a celebrity; it's too mortifying.
The bad news is that only the bad people reach the news because they are noisier.
I mean I was famous for nothing.
Mantle didn't want to stick out, but he did. He didn't wish to be treated as special, but he was. He was uncomfortable being the center of attention, but he was the centerfielder for the most famous franchise in sports.
It's so disappointing that I've become a tabloid story.
I was definitely not the kid that just wanted to be famous for no reason whatsoever and then happened to find comedy. Fame and all that stuff have always been slightly terrifying to me, and it makes me very anxious.
I have always been in the news for something or the other and sometimes I am not even a part of the event and yet my name is dragged.
You know when there's someone new on the rise and there's too much hype? I didn't want that to be me.
