I know now that everything I write, I'm going to put out, and I'll have to live with it for the rest of my life.

I enjoy all kinds of music. But it is kind of strange when I do parodies, instead of setting up drums and guitar amps.

People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.

In fact, when I come up with an idea for a parody I try to resist the urge to Google the idea to see if someone has done it already because the answer is almost always, Yes, of course they have, they've thought of it!

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 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 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.

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.

Sometimes I get, Have you ever thought about doing real music? I like to think the music I do is real, it just happens to be funny.

Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here.

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.

Midget wrestling on channel 3, it costs me 50 bucks a month.

Many years ago I found out something about hamburgers that really grossed me out. You may not know this, so I hope I don’t make you sick, but it turns out hamburgers are actually made out of dead cows. I am not making this up. Needless to say, as soon as I discovered that, I gave up meat entirely.

As a kid, I certainly never thought I would get to spend my life doing something fun.
