Jay Leno told me once, 'Don't do jokes about things you don't know about.'

I definitely tell things at arm's length but that is conscious. No part of me wants everybody to know what's going on.

One of the things that attracts me to vintage and antique things is they have stories, and even if I don't know the stories, I make them up.

I don't know that I've ever been someone who's interested in existing on tour. I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me.

When I got a plaque, when I got a No. 1, a cover of 'XXL,' these are the types of things that let me know I'm aligning with the artists I looked up to.

It took me 10 years to realize that I don't know 'em, 10 years to realize that it's possible to learn them, then another 10 years to learn how to do things.

You know, it's absolutely connected to The Mollusk in that, it's what we're writing after The Mollusk. A lot of this stuff reminds me of things on The Mollusk.

My grandparents have taught me that since I was younger: just to be involved in a whole bunch of different things so you don't get burnt out, and you know what you like to do and what you don't like to do.

I don't know if it's just me getting older, but things that used to bother me, or that I used to take personally, or maybe since going through a public divorce. I just like, really, it takes a lot to bother me nowadays.
