Metals' has partly been about me regaining my self respect and I feel like I'm growing the muscles I want to grow again.

As I get older, the present and the past shift and become the past and the future... A lot of it is a new awareness of time and life and the wheel of fortune crushing you and lifting you and crushing you and lifting you.

I once looked over the shoulder of a friend on Facebook and it looked like hieroglyphs to me. There's merit online, of course, but social media gets super freaky. Imagine if three generations from now, people online have forgotten what date or day of the week it is.

I was a bar-back, which is the person who cleans the bathrooms at the end of the night in the bar, and a cook. I had kind of given up. I was into backing other people up. Music was something I just did on the side and I don't think I had the energy to pimp myself out, like call people up and ask them to book me to play.

What I love about comedy is that it's unquestionably working. There are varying degrees of that, where there's something that makes you smile and is funny versus something that makes you hysterically laugh.

Buddhism is really, one of its main practices is understanding and experiencing compassion, and how that ultimately is a road to happiness.

Money may not buy happiness, but it can damn well give it!

I come before you to declare that my sex are entitled to the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
