I started comedy in like 1998.

If someone can write great music... Paul McCartney is a genius. He's so prolific. All we should do is bow down to Paul McCartney.

We lived in Chicago, but the music we were inspired by was from D. C.

Some rules are good. For example, off the top of my head, let's say a stand-up comedian or a talk show host wearing a nice suit - as a ponderer, I grew up like, "Why don't they just go up there in their army jacket? They're fine!" Then little by little, you think, "You know, it's kind of nice to look nice, like you made the effort." Then you're back at rule one; that was the original rule.

Just a lot of those bands [like The Blue Jean Committee] started off in blues, and then they all transformed into other kinds.

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.

Someday maybe I'll go back and see what the Deep South is like.
