Sometimes you don't want to be a slapstick clown in order to convey a funny perception of the world.

We don't always know what we're doing. We often just get excited, put something down, and say, 'Oh, neat'.

It's hard to be perfect, It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.

I don't want to wreck my voice. I love to concentrate on playing the bass and keeping it very rock-solid. If I were singing, I would have blown out my voice.

I play bass. I don't have to go out there and screech.

We wore our safety pins on the inside of our clothes.

We groove off of everything, any sort of live show. The inner dialogue you're having with yourself, between you and the music, is for me the search for God.
