I keep thinking the bad guys will win in the end and take it all away, but somehow it all seems to keep working.

I will say, the performers in the musical are some of the most super-talented people I've ever seen.

Mike Holmes is insanely talented and his work bristles with the kind of humanity and insight that is rare in comics – or in humans, for that matter.

My friend Phil Morrison directed a lot of my favorite videos back in the mid- to late-90s - all the Yo La Tengo videos that were funny, a Juliana Hatfield video. He was such an influence with me, and I wanted to do a video the way Phil used to do videos. I did that for Phil.

Look, you couldn’t pay me to listen to their music, but I still feel like I have more in common with Insane Clown Posse than I do with someone who just sits on the sidelines and shits on other people’s work and who never puts themselves on the line.

The funny thing is just the collision of genres, taking one medium and trying to ram it into another medium, whether it fits or not.

I love doing the show more than anything. It's truly the most satisfying thing creatively that I've ever had in my life.
