Somehow, magically, I've become an electronic musician, and I have a recording studio that looks like the bridge of the Enterprise.
When I say, 'I love Christ and love the teachings of Christ,' I mean that in the most simple and naive way. I'm not saying I'm right.
Traffic terrifies me.
There is nothing terribly wrong with my face, even if some of its parts aren't very inspiring.
I've had my Charlie Sheen moments, it was usually just at the Mars Bar on the corner of First Avenue with me and a few homeless guys.
There is a lot of music in the world that I love that does not always get the appropriate exposure.
There are some public figures who are very private and almost hide behind their work. I try to be as open as possible.
Shaving your head is acceptable. It's when you start wearing toupees and brushing your hair over that things go wrong.
Britney [Spears]'s actually kind of like a broken-down shell of a human being, that's what makes her so endearing and compelling.
Some of the songs I've made, I'm really disappointed in how I mixed them.
The average life expectancy of a celebrity is 20 years less than someone working in a coal mine.
The only sort of descriptive adjective or catch phrase for my music would be 'eclectic.'
There are so many musicians, friends of mine, who play shows for ten people a night, or always desperately wanted a record contract. So even if every person on the planet loathes me, I have nothing to complain about. My job is not a bad job, so I can't complain.
Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn.
