thinking people beard
I hope people think of me as a bit older. I do have a beard. That makes me look very old.
comedy getting-laid
I only got into comedy to get laid
funny bed comedy
I've never laughed a woman into bed, but I've laughed one out of bed many times.
bullying kids firsts
I bought one of those anti-bullying wristbands when they first came out. I say 'bought', I actually stole it off a short, fat ginger kid.
dad vote annoying
I vote for whoever will annoy my dad.
trying needs records
I made a rule for myself in my early 20s not to become a record collector in the sense that I reference all my old records. I can't live like that. I'd just be trapped in comparison, trying to emulate something, so I made a rule to just buy what I need, just the records I need.
drinking rocks play
It's hard for me to play seated theaters because people tend to sit down and get a little bit complacent, so it's less energy. It's just very dry and dead. People start to feel like they're watching a movie. The environment when they walk into it, it's not standing room only, smoking and drinking and rock 'n' roll. So it's a little bit dangerous to do that.
artist style environment
As an artist, you take things from your environment, and there's going to be a style coming out of your environment.
being-yourself thinking people
I probably could have a hip-hop-style entourage of 40 people coming with me to the club or whatever, and I don't do that. And I think sometimes maybe I should. It just makes things easier - if you don't like being by yourself, maybe just don't do it ever.
song technology guitar
The main things to rebel against - over-production, too much technology, overthinking. It's a spoiled mentality; everything is too easy. If you want to record a song, you can buy Pro Tools and record four hundred guitar tracks. That leads to overthinking, which kills any spontaneity and the humanity of the performance.
believe acting actors
I believe I am a better director than actor. I enjoy acting if the part is right. Directing comes very naturally to me. I enjoy it. I am very confident in my work.
song artist stealing
You can't steal an artist's songs and also tell him he can't license that music to a commercial.
damn-you faces your-face
Saying you love something out loud with the wrong intonation in your face can damn you and destroy what you're working on.
unique artist lucky
I have very little interest in the bottom line or signing artists to help make the label profit. That's a lucky, unique position to be in, but it all comes out in the wash.
