My first two records are so simply constructed. The reason isn't because I wanted to make simple music. It's because I don't really have the chops.

Marriage is like twirling a baton turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.

All those years we'd spent learning these chops and all those gigs in Germany where you'd play all night and along comes punk. It has nothing to do with that. A lot of people went out of business.

People are roasting each other at parties at work events around the fire. It's so fun. People are busting each other's chops and it's a sign of affection truly. It's a true test of love and friendship: can you make a man laugh at himself? So what makes a good burn? Go after targets you love and respect. And hit 'em hard.
