I've noticed that when people are joking they're usually dead serious, and when they're serious, they're usually pretty funny.

In the beginning we were creating our music, ourselves, every night . . . starting with a few outlines, maybe a few words for a song. Sometimes we worked out in Venice, looking at the surf.
