Rob Schneider is defending his comedy after being asked to end his set early during a fundraiser in June.

Audience members at a fundraiser for the Hospitals of Regina Foundation in Canada left in protest, many of them "yelling" at Schneider for what they considered to be controversial remarks.

The comedian (who is also singer Elle King's father) believes that that kind of disapproval is an indication he's "doing it right."

"The thing about free speech is, free speech is all speech. Free speech isn’t for the nice stuff. It isn’t for the socially acceptable stuff. Free speech is the speech that challenges you," he told The Hollywood Reporter at the premiere of his pal Adam Sandler's Netflix comedy special in New York.

"Free speech is the not-nice stuff. Easy speech or speech that’s acceptable to everybody doesn’t need any protection. I’m there to challenge the audience," he explained.

Schneider, argued that "challenging" comedy is what indicates if you're successful or not.

"People get upset about things now. And that’s OK," Schneider added. "I think the more challenging the comedy is and society is, the more interesting the stand-up and art is going to be." 

"When everything’s smooth, art is boring. So the ’90s could have been kind of boring, but this is a good time now, and it’s a challenging time."

Schneider also talked to the outlet about how "lovely" it is that Sandler, his friend and fellow comedian, "always includes me." He told The Hollywood Reporter Sandler called him, asked him to "come out here," and "the next thing you know" Schneider was performing with him for his "Love You" comedy special.

Sandler and Schneider have co-starred in a number of movies together over the years, including "Grown Ups," "The Waterboy," and "Big Daddy."

For over four decades, Dennis Quaid has found success on and off the camera. As a father of three, he knows a little something about what it takes to turn passion into paychecks and hopes to instill that mindset within his own children. 

During Tuesday's Los Angeles premiere of "Reagan," the actor – who portrays the late president in the film – spoke with Fox News Digital about the career and life advice he gives his three kids.  

"I tell my kids to find something you love to do, then figure out a way to get paid for it," he said. "I don't push them either way. They are who they are."

Dennis shares son, Jack, 32, with his second wife, Meg Ryan and twins, Thomas and Zoe, 16, with his third wife, Kimberly Buffington.

The 70-year-old actor, who was accompanied on the red carpet by his wife, Laura Savoie, and daughter, Zoe, told Fox News Digital how "proud" he is of his only daughter. 

"This is her first red carpet. She's got her gown and everything and looks so great," the actor said. "I'm so proud of her. She's such a sweetheart, and smart as a whip. She knows where everything in the house is, so it helps me out."

In a recent interview with the Daily Beast, Quaid's eldest son, Jack, opened up about how his parents have impacted his career in Hollywood and explained why being labeled a "nepo baby" is a term he can "agree" with.

"People have called me a ‘nepo baby,’" he said. "I’m inclined to agree. I am an immensely privileged person, was able to get representation pretty early on, and that’s more than half the battle. I knew the door was open for me in a lot of ways that it’s just not for a lot of actors, and I’ve just tried to work as hard as I possibly can to prove that I deserve to walk through that door."

During an interview on Kelly Clarkson’s daytime talk show in 2020, Quaid said Jack refused to accept his dad's offer when it came to finding him representation. 

"My agent wanted to represent him, and he said, ‘No. I want to do it on my own,'" he told the Grammy Award-winning artist. 

He continued, "And then, of course, he gets an agent on his own and his first movie is 'Hunger Games.' Then he gets in [Martin] Scorsese’s 'Vinyl' on television, which was the hottest show there was. Now he’s doing 'The Boys,' which is the hottest thing on streaming. It’s a great show."

In addition to being a father, Quaid previously opened up about the secret behind his successful marriage to Savoie, who is 39 years his junior. 

"I haven't spoken out about the age difference of my wife. Other people have. But… I really don't think about it," the actor told Fox News Digital in April. 

He continued, "She's got so much going on that, you know, I just don't notice it. She's just, she's the light of my life. I wasn’t looking for it, and she came along, and it's God put us together."

The couple married in June 2020 in Santa Barbara, California, after meeting a year earlier at a business event while she was working toward her second master’s degree at the Texas McCombs School of Business, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Last year, Quaid told "Extra," "God is in my wife and I's relationship, and it's another thing that I never really had before."

"She and I have such a beautiful relationship, and we pray together," he added.
