If you get rid of a lot of the poseurs by destroying record companies, maybe it's a good trade-off.

Rebellion is obsolete - change things from the inside working out.

Technology has taken its toll on albums in a tough way. The CD format and MTV really played havoc on artists.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

Lego was our fourth film, because we did two Cloudys, so yeah there's a little bit of shorthand that's involved and then you can anticipate things- because for me it's like, I get a script for a movie and I go, "Wow that's a pretty good script", then you sign on and a couple months later they show you the first cut and you're like, "Whoa, how did that happen?"

The stories I write are often literal to events that have happened or observations that I've made, and sometimes they're fantastical.

We are shocked and saddened by Bob Casale's passing. He not only was integral in DEVO's sound, he worked over twenty years at Mutato, collaborating with me on sixty or seventy films and television shows, not to mention countless commercials and many video games. Bob was instrumental in creating the sound of projects as varied as Rugrats and Wes Anderson's films. He was a great friend. I will miss him greatly.
