I like the guitar-driven music of Nirvana at its peak. At that point, I thought there was a lot of really exciting music coming out.

The irony is of course that my career has lasted a whole lot longer than some of the people I've parodied over the years.

One of the hardest things I've had to deal with in my career is keeping my material topical even though I only release albums every three or four years.

I make charts of songs that are good candidates, good targets, so to speak. Then I try to come up with ideas for parodies. And 99% of those ideas are horrible.

I'm so lucky to have a career in my fifties. And to still have the desire to do it. I don't think about retirement.

Unemployment insurance, abolishing child labor, the 40-hour work week, collective bargaining, strong banking regulations, deposit insurance, and job programs that put millions of people to work were all described, in one way or another, as 'socialist.' Yet, these programs have become the fabric of our nation and the foundation of the middle class.

It is vital that a company's culture shows a willingness to invest in employee wellbeing with no stigma or penalty attached to prioritising good health.

I don't want people poking around in my private stuff. They've no business in it. My work is what I give to people, that's my job, and that's where it stops.
