I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue than spend one more minute with you.

I decided that I wanted to be a voice on every animated cartoon in the history of the world - even shows that haven't been on the air for a very long time, that's going to be harder to pull off.

I can't say enough good things about my band. I feel very fortunate that I found them when I did, very early in my career. Not only are they just great, nice guys they're some of the best musicians you're likely to find. They do everything from gangsta rap to polka music and every genre in between. It's amazing.

I start with a comprehensive list of all the recent songs that have been big hits - and then I go down that list and see if I can come up with funny ideas for them. I can always come up with ideas, but not necessarily good ones!

By the time I'm in the studio recording my parody, 10,000 parodies of that song are on YouTube.

There's enough people that do unfunny music. I'll leave the serious stuff to Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline.

As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy.
