As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.

As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.

As it turns out, there is a thing called the Internet, and stuff does go out there whether the suits like it or not.

I think that nerds, if you want to call them that, have only gotten more hip and assimilated into the culture.

Probably 90 percent of my albums have polka medleys.

I write and write and write, and then I edit it down to the parts that I think are amusing, or that help the storyline, or I'll write a notebook full of ideas of anecdotes or story points, and then I'll try and arrange them in a way that they would tell a semi-cohesive story.

As much as people are griping about the Internet taking sales away from artists, it's been a huge promotional tool for me.
