Mullets are still going strong in the south and places like St Louis or the Carolinas.

I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.

If you want music that speaks to you, that LISTENS to you, you have to go out of your way, which I enjoy actually. I'm constantly on a private-eye kick to find the totally obscure.

I mean, I would hope that I have a style or personality that is evident wherever I go.

I don't really know why I chose bass except that it was different than guitar.

But I also like to be in control, like anyone else. I try to achieve a balance.

Well, I've never been to Japan so I couldn't say. I do know that we have a bit of a following there however.

There's a reason I moved to NYC, and if I listed all the musicians on my list you'd grow weary.

Being in several, disparate bands is what I thrive on.

Mullets are still going strong in the south and places like St Louis or the Carolinas.

The bungle tour is a bit up in the air due to the fact this at we are getting screwed by our overseas label.

It's too hard for me to comment on the sorry state of our culture.

I remember when metal was something you really had to search out, and now I hear it on car commercials.

I love being a musician. I love the lifestyle. But I think it's probably as difficult and frustrating as anything.

NYC is chaotic. And I am attracted to chaos.

Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.

I never understood why the metal heads in my school hated the punks.

I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.

I think it was more personal, but I certainly tried to adapt certain concepts of Surrealism.

Harry Patch didn't get enough recognition. Jerry Garcia got too much.

I'm comfortable, but not satisfied and I hope to always feel that way.

It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.

Now I am obsessed with collecting Platypus paraphernalia.

I need to broaden my horizons.

I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.

I love playing in Fantomas, which is very strict in terms of composition.

I take all of my music seriously and personally.

If I can introduce someone to something new, as is constantly happening to me, then I am elated.

I have no inflated ideas about success anyway.

Pop culture is not about depth. It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism.

Hopefully, as a band, it will grow and develop for a good length of time.

Bungle is definitely a priority right now.

Different people bring out different aspects of ones personality.

I love food and I love my curves.

I had long hair when I was a teenager.

Being cold is not debilitating. We learned that from the Eskimos. They could be cold, and they could function. And you could function better when you're cold than when you're hot. I mean, hot, you become overheated, and, you know, you lose energy. If you're cold, you could function being cold. Now, frozen is different.

But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy. So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view.

When you put the subjectivity of the art together with the context of the science, you have this very powerful conjunction of opposites and together they are greater than either one could ever be.

A knife of the keenest steel requires the whetstone, and the wisest man needs advice.

We must cultivate our own garden. When man was put in the garden of Eden he was put there so that he should work which proves that man was not born to rest.

I think for us - the Weinstein name, the Miramax name - they've both become synonymous with brands. We have a real winning formula when it comes to championing a different kind of movie, and I think the audience trusts us.

I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced, so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly.

The only pressure I feel is how I can contribute to help my team win the match. Of course, there is always the pressure to score, but then doesn't it eventually help your team win? Frankly, I don't let these things affect me.

You look at the greatest villains in human history, the fascists, the autocrats, they all wanted people to kneel before them because they don't love themselves enough.

The only protection as a historian is to institute a process of research and writing that minimizes the possibility of error. And that I have tried to do, aided by modern technology, which enables me, having long since moved beyond longhand, to use a computer for both organizing and taking notes.

The pace of innovation may slow down or speed up depending on the appetite in the public markets, but the constant progress of technology doesn't really ever stop. There's always opportunities for new ideas and creative people to go build great things. I'm always interested in learning about those kinds of opportunities.

Jennifer Aniston is one of the most down-to-earth, low-key people I know.

A pen is different from the pad, the key, moving your fingers across a screen. I like both. I like to work on sketchbooks, big old white sketch paper. I like how that feels, and I like to put different media on it. Then there's the phone, smartphone, iPad: It's the new page, and it's not the same page anymore.

Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me, the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating.
