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

Whenever I say I made a record in the garage, people just assume that I have, like, a Lear jet parked in there or something. But really there's old luggage, a couple of bikes. It's big enough to put one minivan in. That's it. No dartboard. I'm so not macho.

How do I stay humble? Because I'm the best at being humble.

My mother was a public school teacher in Virginia, and we didn't have any money, we just survived on happiness, on being a happy family.

I'm not allergic to fashion. I'm just one of those people who when they put on a suit look like they're going to a funeral or to court.

When you're recording to analog tape, it captures performance and you can't necessarily manipulate that in different ways. It is what it is.

It's funny; recently I've started to notice people's impersonations of me, and it's basically like a hyperactive child.
