“My kids listen to everything because I listen to everything, so it’s not far-fetched to hear them playing Metallica and then playing A Tribe Called Quest or N.W.A.”

I listen to all types of music so I’m influenced by everything.

I think remixes give songs more life.

Psychology is the science of psychic states both as to content and form, regarded from an objective standpoint, and brought in relation to the living corporeal individual.

I’m cooler than a polar bear’s toenails… bend corners like I was a curve, I struck a nerve.

The music is first and foremost everything – no egos, no attitude, nothing – it’s about the music.

It’s been very humbling and very cool to see [that at] each show I tend to see more and more kids lock onto the new lyrics and every night they start to sing louder and louder and it’s just been very exciting.

The great joy of doing ‘The Daily Show’ for me is that I get to sit on the fence between cultures. I am commenting on the absurdity of both sides as an outsider and insider.
