The game Rock Band has been haunting me like a bad ring tone. It gets stuck in my head and momentarily effaces all that I love about music.

I think proteins are really good for your brain. And your brain is where comedy comes from.

It wasn't just like, "I want to make a record that sounds like classic rock" at all. It was more like, "I want to make a record that is a little more unsettling and maybe isn't as easily understood now." That just seemed more important, like, for me to make as an artist, than it was to make something to make people feel safe right away.

I think you should be prepared for a green-screen CGI at all times.

I will say, as a woman, when you put a mustache on, you find out a lot of things about yourself.

I think that the intentions are genuine in the search for authenticity, but it can tip over into absurdity so quickly. I just start to wonder, like, what authenticity even is, and whether we can even start to define it in such a globalized world.

I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres.
