People are always nice, so I can't complain. My name used to be SNL! More and more, people call me by my name.

I spent a lot of time lifting my drums into a van, playing to ten people night after night. I can't complain about anything now.

When people say that L.A. doesn't have a culture, I think it really does: a very old culture, and very specific. There's streets named after entertainers, and statues of entertainers, and it's great. Entertainment is still art, even if it makes billions of dollars. So it's like a city built on entertainment, and art in a way.

I don't miss anything ever. Because to me, missing something is like going backward a little bit. I don't miss being in a punk band. For me, 'SNL' is like... this is gonna sound overly dramatic, but... the way I am, it feels like I'm a soldier, so it was like, 'What do you want me to do? Put me anywhere. Do you want me to do these sketches? Great.'

In my opinion, there's this new phenomenon where guys used to talk about cars a lot in the past. But, more and more it's becoming them talking about recording studios.

The more I keep myself occupied and jump from thing to thing, the more I think it enriches both.

Every music journalist I've ever met has been stunningly beautiful.
