You can't watch 'Dr. Strangelove' with commercials. That would be sacrilegious.

I liked the name Frog Brigade because it lent itself to a lot of cool imagery with the whole frog thing.

My favorite venues are the 2,000 seat theaters, like the Warfield. If there was a Warfield in every city, I would play it. That's all I would do. I love venues like that.

Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite actor walking the planet right now. He never ceases to amaze me.

I like to open new doors and blaze new trails through the jungle and all that whatnot. What keeps me goin all these years is changin it up.

I think the world is very much embracing this whole concept of musicians going out and playing their instruments and playing music for music as opposed to music that has something to do with some form of image or imagery.

More than anything, I think the best thing you can do as an artist is just stay as true to yourself as possible and hope that your fan base will appreciate that.
