I'm still a geek on the inside, that's the important thing.

Some people want to advertise their weirdness, and spread it out, that's not me.

I like the guitar-driven music of Nirvana at its peak. At that point, I thought there was a lot of really exciting music coming out.

I cut my teeth playing rock songs on the accordion when I was a teenager and my friends always thought that was extremely amusing. I think that was the genesis of my polka medleys, because every rock song I played on the accordion just sounded like a polka and my friends thought it was funny. So that was a joke that I continue up to this very day.

I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love, and I have to use the self service pump.

You still have Top 40 radio now, but it's 40 different stations. There aren't many hits that everybody knows, and there aren't many real superstars.

People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
