Personal Quote
"A lot of people do stand-up comedy in hopes of landing a television series. Well, I'm just the opposite. I've already had a TV series and now I'm doing stand-up. If this doesn't work, soon I'll be doing security with
Gary Coleman.
I hope people stop remembering me as Screech and remember me as Dustin Diamond. I think my stand-up routine is helping that.
Screech and I have a lot in common. We are both strange, funny, interested in computers, good at chess, and chick magnets.
When all is said and done I'm going to look back on my career . . . and I'm going to be proud of it all."
