I think hip-hop does a very good job of infusing comedy and humor and wit into music, a lot more than other genres.

The game Rock Band has been haunting me like a bad ring tone. It gets stuck in my head and momentarily effaces all that I love about music.

Florida is such an unlikely place for a band, unless you're an emo or hardcore band. In terms of the touring route, or even the way the geography works in terms of bands and communities, Florida's always been this appendage that you either cut it off and dismiss it, or you somehow include it in your scope.

I'm really drawn to the uncompromising realness of natural process: It's unadorned. It's not very pretty.

I've learned to really enjoy video games. It's really toxic to have in your house, because it's really distracting.

I think hypochondria always plays a part in the healthcare landscape.

As a kid, before I got into music, I did all the drama classes, went to theater camp in the summers, so it wasn't totally a foreign world.

I don't think you need to sound like from where you're from. But I think there is something magical and powerful about encompassing something fully and singularly.

Music has always been my constant, my salvation. It's cliche to write that, but it's true.

You can't bury a part of yourself that's so innate to who you've been, even if it's not for the sake of anything other than a pure enjoyment of it.

I like to connect with people through my work. That's my favorite way - meetings of the minds, fans at a show. Those are nice mediated ways of hanging out.

The hedonistic lifestyle is difficult to achieve when you're still carrying your own gear. Trust me that you don't feel glamorous with a 60-pound amp in your arms it's a lot less sexy than toting a vodka gimlet and impossible to do in heels.

I got kind of tired of playing, I think. But I think it will be part of my life again, maybe.

I'm always trying to encourage people not to limit themselves in the same way that many of our parents stayed with one job forever.

I'm interested in the crevices, and the grotesque, and the unsavory. That started out when I was young... I've never quite been able to shake that.

I think in some ways, whether you've ever actually been to Portland, people definitely understand this highly curated niche lifestyle, because a lot of people are sort of striving for that now. Or they're hating on it.

You do have to live through things, and to live through things is to observe want, and to observe lacking. Even if the hunger is a curiosity.

I feel like I came in comedy's side door, and still feel very fraudulent in many ways.

I think that there's always an assumption, when a band goes on hiatus or stops playing, that there's some acrimony brewing under the surface.
