I'm a skinny, geeky, high school dropout - it works, kids! Sensitive guys always get the girl. You'll get laid 10 times as much as that guy on the football team 'cause he's on steroids and he's gonna get fat.

I love everything about my job, except being away from the kids.

I'm not into albums that are meant to sound perfect.
