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

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.

At the end, the realization is that she had to get to a place in her life where she could drop her guard and make peace with the fact that whether she had a small amount of time, that she had to kind of live it completely through, instead of living by the rules.

President Johnson and I have a lot in common. We were both born in small towns and we're both fortunate in the fact that we think we married above ourselves.

The fact is I've been in Massachusetts for the last two weeks, and it seems over the last few days that the price is increasing by the hour at the pump, so there needs to be an aggressive investigation.

In fact, it is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of its own reason.

Working-class Americans have waited too long, close to a decade in fact, for an increase in the minimum wage. This has been the second longest period without a pay raise since the Federal minimum wage law was first enacted in 1938.

The fact is, Latinos now own their own lives and I believe they can afford to look back without judgment.

The fact that it's science fiction gives you the license to do anything you want to do.

It has to do with the fact that Ford, for all his greatness, is an Irish egomaniac, as anyone who knows him will say.

I never knew a more presumptuous person than myself. The fact that I say that shows that what I say is true.

I think the fact that I'm so well known to be gay makes it very difficult to have a convincing relationship with a woman on screen. It wouldn't be at all difficult for me to kiss a woman - I'll kiss a frog if you like.

People expect us to be different, but we're not. We're very similar people, and it's because we're so similar and close to each other that we make each other laugh - in fact we make each other laugh more than we make anyone else laugh.

I can't tell you how hard I worked the last year. In fact, I worked so hard that I know I can't maintain that same work level in 2001, so I've got to quit something.

The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slowly moving, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades. It is a river of grass.

The key to accepting responsibility for your life is to accept the fact that your choices, every one of them, are leading you inexorably to either success or failure, however you define those terms.

In fact I have nightmares about having children. I want to carry a baby and feel the life within me and in my dream, I do. But every time after it's born, there's this incredible fear, this pounding pulse of fear. It's a real bad nightmare.

All my songs were solo voices. Just me singing. In fact, that was the gimmick - no gimmick. Just singing straight with not too much background.
