The cover of Mojo, that was good for us.

I've always kind of lived in my own world.

We'll probably be working on another album in the next few months here.

Even at the last minute we were still debating what was gonna be released as the first single.

I think there's a lot of problems with being a two-party system.

It's cool to meet your idols. It's a good opportunity to travel. Those kinds of things are good.

It's hard listening to myself.

Everything else outside me seems far, far away.

Apparently, there's a little red demon dwarf that haunts the city, and before every major bad thing that's happened, it's appeared to somebody. Last time, he appeared in a Cadillac.

I met Drew Barrymore in New York and she said she liked the band. That was really cool. I grew up on her.

You know, when I hear music, I just hear the whole thing.

Maybe I'm a little more confident than I used to be, but not much.

I don't want to know about my biggest idols. I don't want to read their autobiographies, I don't want to find out what they're really like.

I have to have the cotton candy shipped in.

Because you can be lazy if you don't know the truth.

Jack the only trick I ever played on you was never tricking you at all.

It's hard to get that real good feeling about festivals sometimes.

It's pretty sad when you have to choose between the lesser of two evils.

Downtown Detroit has more vacant buildings over 10 storeys than any city in the world.

The only things that are a little bit newer are the CD burners, but we hid them under the table, so basically we had the feeling we were somewhere completely different, in another time.

I've never been much into picking things apart.

Like, people recognizing me on the street never interested me.

Every second is mapped out and he has this total childish fascination with color and shapes and sequences.

It's the emotion of it that hits me, more than anything technical.

I remember rehearsing it, and it was the one that we were really excited about and thought would sound the best, and once it was down on tape, it was like, This doesn't actually sound that good.

I got more used to my own voice, but still it's hard for me to listen to my own voice, or hear the recordings.

There's nothing I'm doing these days that I ever thought I was gonna do.

The cover of Mojo, that was good for us.

I wouldn't want to be in a Lisa episode. They're kind of boring. Maybe a Homer one would be better.

That's what my Dad always told me, on the ballot, they should always have a third choice, like none of the above, then if enough people picked that, they'd have to get new candidates.

Then we're going to take a lot of time off because in the last three years we've been touring continuously.

I can put tweets on a map to show who is saying what where, which could be used for marketing or social research.

I knew going in that being a single parent would be one of the toughest jobs I'd ever have. I'd been a talk-show host, actor, comic, and on and on, but this gig was going to be my defining moment.

I love all my children, but some of them I don't like.

Raft told me how to walk with him in a scene: We'd start off in a long shot normal, and about the time we got together in a close-up, I'd be bending my knees so I'd be shorter.

As frustrating as it is to not have a record come out, I have to make sure that it's worth putting out. I have to be trying to say something, for one. I have to not oversell what I'm trying to say. I can't 'Bono' it.

The enemy of idealism is zealotry.

I grew up moving around because my dad was in the Air Force - I think this has carried over into my work in that I like to hop around from one medium to another.

You learn how to take care of people from the women in your life.

Don't tell your problems to people: eighty percent don't care; and the other twenty percent are glad you have them.

I am very wanted in my homeland. I am part of the scenery, part of the region. I resemble it.

I want to stretch myself as an actor.

You make your own luck by working hard, you know?

In comedy, if you don't have the right tuning with your co-actor, the humour can fall flat.

I don't bring anything expensive to the dorms.

I was not the kind of a principal player that was so in demand that eight or 10 or 12 scripts came per month.

That's how I grew up. Just play defense - and make a basket.

I couldn't resist painting Orpheus and Charon on the River Styx. There was something strangely intriguing about seeing Orpheus playing his lyre as he is being shuttled across the river.

Many sophisticated, intelligent people lack wisdom and common sense.
