We use all the takes that no one would ever use and often the moments before we say action, or before we say cut. No one's ever called and complained or anything like that. Everyone's just so grateful to get the work and to be on TV and all that.

Funny people don't really laugh very much.

A good example of a lyric that makes me laugh but might not hit anybody right away is, "Sit behind the guitar and play the chords," just because it's such a lame image. It's not rock'n'roll at all to be sitting behind a guitar.

Most of the time, we write something and then figure out who would be best to do it.

Nobody hates hipsters more than hipsters.

I sort of fell out of new music. I'm old, I like what I like, and that's that.

That kind of language is what makes us laugh. Like, "Well, just eFax that to me, and I'll take a look at it."
