We're immature guys playing pranks on people, having fun,
Do what you like and do it honestly.
I'm a huge stadium rock fan, but I'm also a fan of everything from Massive Attack to Peter Gabriel, U2, the Police, Radiohead, and Coldplay.
I always want to do different things. I'm always obsessed with trying to do different things.
Spending so much time on the road, I get to fart all the time. Then when it's, like, Thanksgiving dinner and I'm sitting with my grandmother, I can't fart for, like, two hours.
Humor has become so cliche and boring that nothing's funny anymore unless it involves something totally disgusting that offends somebody or makes them feel really uncomfortable.
Everyone I talk to says stuff like, 'Music sucks today,' and I'm going to try and change all that.
If I had my own world I'd build you an empire from here to the far lands to spread love like violence!
I love to deliver orgasms to the masses!
I might be a dork, but I don't want to be a jerk.
I grew up skateboarding, but I don't even do that anymore.
'Love' has that Kubrick tonality to it, but this is not a Stanley Kubrick movie - there will never be another. At the same time, 'Love' has a modern feel. For example: In one scene, these astronauts go through a wormhole sequence, and you feel like you're being slapped around inside your head by a sonic boom.
I think I might get laid more...by my dad.
Maybe I do wanna become a woman, so what is the crime in that?
