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

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.

I always have a lot of respect for people who do things. Even if it's the worst garbage on earth.
