As told to The Windy City Times in 2011:

“When I went on the Surreal Life I told the producer, ‘These people suck!’ I swear I did. ‘You brought me here understanding that the show was called House of Music and none of these idiots know nothing!’ There was a lady running around with maracas named Brigitte Nielsen and that crazy but adorable Flavor Flav. I said, ‘Why not call it Enter At Your Own Risk?’

I wanted to get the hell out of there. They talked me into staying, telling me that I would pull the whole thing together. One night I tried to escape and the window was controlled with an alarm. When the alarm started ringing I said, ‘Oh sh*t; they got me.’ When I stayed I just did my best. I went for the comedy and it was the only Surreal Life [nominated] for a People’s Choice Award. Every time things get out of control once again I find a way to put a joke on it.”
