Tim [Omundson] is just so wonderfully delicious. He has the sexiest beard on television. He's such a fabulous actor, and a great character.

Another cultural thing that's really creepy. It's not like in the '60s, where there were definitely great high points of creativity where people were trying to outdo each other to be noticed even.

The Grammys thing doesn't even touch my world at all.

When I run across something that feels like a real eye-opener, it's gonna have an influence on me forever.

Who's got the most heartbreaking voice? I don't know. Tough question.

The fact of picking up an instrument and writing a song and expressing yourself publicly has a powerful political dimension.

One thing I know that's really cool - it seems to me that Blake Schwarzenbach [Jets to Brazil frontman; ex-Jawbreaker] is someone who's made music that's people continue to take really personally.
