I think Andy Kaufman is to comedy what the Velvet Underground was to music - it's like, 80 thousand records sold, but everybody who bought one started a band.

Songs need to have a secret, cryptic, thematic thing about them, otherwise they are just messy and all over the place.

Being offended is part of being in the real world.

I have a deathly fear of mediocrity and that nips at my heels and gets me into a lot of trouble.

I am not suicidal. Occasionally, like all of us, I get depressed and it was over a year ago and I had a little mini attack, well a big one ... I don't know quite why it happened but I find medication is not the answer to this.

I wanted my anger to be valid, and the only way to do that is to be fairly attractive.

But, you know, all good rock is easy.
