I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.

I've been writing music since I was about eight. I would write sporadically. I wrote a lot of music in high school. I guess the oldest song on the record ("I Thought I Saw Your Face") is about eight years old. It's the old "I had my whole life to write my first album and six months to write the second one." I did, to some degree, but actually, a lot of the songs that ended up on the record, I wrote really recently. So it varies.

For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.

I think comedy's just about being interested in comedy and what makes people laugh and experimenting.

I like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.

I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.

When I was 13, I wasn't the coolest kid in my class, and that inner dork is a wonderful thing to have.
