San Francisco is an interesting place. It's always been such a nice culturally diverse environment, which it still is, but there's a lot of money there now and a lot of dot com's so it's a little different than it used to be.

We've all had our thing. I listened to the Monkees when I was little kid.

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

I pretty much built a band out of the most incredible guys I could possibly find. I didn't really want a six-piece band, but it just ended up being a six-piece band because these guys are all awesome.

I'll run against the grain till the day I drop?

Theaters are great. They're designed to sound good, not for basketball.

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.
