On some level any appearance on Television can be seen as a product endorsement.

I don't make a list of questions. Ever. I think a lot of my interviews are driven by my need to feel connection.

I'm just very sort of compulsive and lack the ability to keep things in perspective. If I'm not writing or playing guitar or on the microphone or out on the road, I'm cleaning pots and pans or freaking out about some plumbing issue or tweeting.

I find that if I don't do interviews, I get a little squirrely. I think that when you engage with someone else, or when you engage in something you're passionate about, you're sort of out of your own head.

I'm not a racist. It's really case by case; it's not ethnicity specific. It's just the way I react to things that are different. I think that's normal. Everyone's nervous when they're confronted with things that they don't understand or are different. That's a normal human reaction. It doesn't become racist 'til you say things like, 'Oh, there's a lot of them.'

I know that the podcast is typically something I can do forever, because it's mine; it's just me and my producer and business partner, so it's our business.

I knew most of my radio listeners were lefty political people, and I decided definitively not to be that guy - not to address politics.
