People say releasing an album is like giving birth, but it’s more like having a gallbladder operation.

I start with a comprehensive list of all the recent songs that have been big hits - and then I go down that list and see if I can come up with funny ideas for them. I can always come up with ideas, but not necessarily good ones!

One of my pet peeves is that sometimes the talents of my band get overlooked because, and it was the same problem that Frank Zappa had, with a lot of groups that use humor, people don't realize there's a lot of craft behind the comedy.

There are a lot of songs that would ostensibly be a good candidate for parody, yet I can't think of a clever enough idea.

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

Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.

If something is good enough, it can be out there and people will see it.
