Growing up in the 70s and 80s, it took effort to be a nerd. You had to seek out the nerd stuff.

I probably get one or two days off every five or six weeks.

We just make stuff that we think is funny and fun, and I think that's the most you can do. I think if you're chasing virality, it just feels desperate.

A big company is like trying to steer a luxury liner.

It's so much easier to give advice than to take it.

Every time I finish a record, it's sort of feels like, "I can't believe that I'm hanging out and having a conversation, and people are gonna listen to this." It's an odd thing, but it's really cool.

I've gone from being bullied by jocks as a kid to being bullied by nerds as an adult.
