nice san-francisco interesting
San Francisco is an interesting place. It's always been such a nice culturally diverse environment, which it still is, but there's a lot of money there now and a lot of dot com's so it's a little different than it used to be.
actors my-favorite planets
Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite actor walking the planet right now. He never ceases to amaze me.
would-be drs watches
You can't watch 'Dr. Strangelove' with commercials. That would be sacrilegious.
years doors trails
I like to open new doors and blaze new trails through the jungle and all that whatnot. What keeps me goin all these years is changin it up.
kids littles little-kid
We've all had our thing. I listened to the Monkees when I was little kid.
spontaneity bigs believer
I'm a big believer in spontaneity.
life fun swimming
Oh, welcome to this world of fools, of pink champagne and swimming pools, where all you have to lose is your virginity. Perhaps you'll have some fun tonight, just stick around and take a bite, of life. We don't need feebleness in this proximity.
running grain
I'll run against the grain till the day I drop?
guy pieces want
I pretty much built a band out of the most incredible guys I could possibly find. I didn't really want a six-piece band, but it just ended up being a six-piece band because these guys are all awesome.
something-new
Music in general is looking for something new overall.
stars rocks fishing
Comedians get jokes offered to them, rock stars get women and underwear thrown onstage, and I get guys that want to take me fishing.
book watches littles
You might have a favorite book or film, but you can only watch or read it so many times before you have to let it sit and then go back and realize it's your favorite still. At some point everything gets a little stale and you have to step away from it.
play band bass
Because nobody wanted to play bass, I was instantly in a band.
law brave tradition
To defy the laws of tradition is a crusade only of the brave.
