When I swore that you're getting more and more beautiful everyday. Well, I was only kidding, honey.
I've always known that if I recorded an album, it would come out, and people would enjoy it! Whereas if I wrote a movie script, chances are better than even that I'd just be another guy in L.A. with a movie script in his drawer.
Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails.
My brothers and sisters hated me because I was an only child.
Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.
The music has always been my bread and butter, and I've focused more of my attention on that.
Boys like Peter are afraid of alot of things, like nuclear annihilation and flunking algebra, but they're not afraid of wolves.
You can play some schlock like New Kids On the Block.
If something is good enough, it can be out there and people will see it.
In fact, when I come up with an idea for a parody I try to resist the urge to Google the idea to see if someone has done it already because the answer is almost always, "Yes, of course they have, they've thought of it!"
It's hard to force creativity and humor.

As a wise man once said, "April Fools Day is for amateurs. You NEVER need an excuse to mess with people's heads."
I'm a music fan, and I can listen to the radio, or music, without thinking, "How am I going to screw this up?" [Laughs] If I'm really actively trying to think of a parody, then I'll have my antenna out, and be a little more proactive about it.
