jokes inside-jokes
I love inside jokes. I hope to be a part of one some day.
lame too-much-information easier
TMI? Too Much Information. It”s just easier to say 'TMI'. I used to say 'don't go there', but that's lame.
imagination magic shapes
What you call magic is nothing more than an act of the imagination fired by the senses, then given shape by the power of your aura.
southern band athens
So, we went from being an Athens band to being a Georgia band to being a Southern band to being an American band from the East Coast to being an American band and now we're kind of an international phenomenon.
ethos rocks heaven
The punk-rock ethos was "Do it yourself. Anyone can do this. We're not sent from the heavens."
ukulele band maps
When we first started, we were a band from Athens and that was so off the map.
integrity thinking two
When we signed with Warner Bros., they knew what they were getting. They knew they weren't going to get some easily manipulated prepackaged pop group. That was not going to happen. What they wanted, I think, was the integrity that we had to offer. What they wanted was the kind of street cred or cache that R.E.M. could bring to them and the chance that we would give them a hit or two. What happened was we gave them a bunch of hits. And we became huge.
thumbs want
My rule of thumb is that I want to do things I'd like to go and see myself.
rebuilding destroyed
Everybodys constantly being destroyed and rebuilding themselves, some more drastically than others.
circles car people
People get excited around me and behave differently than they would normally. I don't feel different from anyone else, except that I drive a racing car round in circles faster than somebody else.
liking-someone wife share
I like to share my life, and spend time with someone I love. That has worked 100 per cent with my wife.
octopus littles ingredients
On 'Chopped,' the time goes down a bit and there are several ingredients, usually one that makes no sense whatsoever with the rest of the ingredients. So it gets you out of your culinary comfort zone a little bit. Like we had octopus and cheese paired up with each other.
love-life truth-is has-beens
The truth is my love life has been a lot more turbulent than I have let on.
dysfunction my-own survived
I'm surprised that I've survived my own dysfunction, really.
