Sometimes in Portland I'm like, 'Who is funding this city?' It's doing great - there's all these new shops; there's a synthesizer store. Where is this coming from?

One person who was interesting was Jello Biafra, who was - of all things - very professional!

My showbiz career started with 'SNL,' and to write an 'SNL' book... well, there are already enough of those.

I will always consider myself a punk because of those experiences in high school. It will always be a part of me.

There's nothing nicer than coming back to your village, where people like my mum's friends take the mick out of me. I prefer that to the craziness of Hollywood.

I'm drawn again and again to relationships between people who really, really want to connect and just can't get out of their own way to do it.

I just wanted to work, build a relationship with my teammates, and earn their trust.

In the future, the idea would be to create work for myself, as a way to work up into my 80s if nothing else. But also, I want to cast my friends in things or people I saw who weren't working and I'd be like, 'Why aren't you working, I don't understand - I'll write you a role in something.'
