I had a job when I was 16 at a gas fitter, which was a bit like a pipe fitter.
We started writing songs like 'Shook Ones' and 'Survival of the Fittest' explaining our neighborhood, but more our personal lives.
The most basic human desire is to feel like you belong. Fitting in is important.
I've been in navigation systems, robotics, restaurants, communications systems, touch screens, and now I'm back in games. I like to say I have five-year A.D.D.
Chip is like that kid, like the five-year-old kid that's trying to make his mom breakfast, and there's milk everywhere.
The real menace in dealing with a five-year-old is that in no time at all you begin to sound like a five-year-old.
You can't live like a monk if you have two five-year-old twins. That ain't happening. Just the opposite, actually.
I like that show 'Ray Donovan' - I'm obsessed with that. He's in Hollywood, he's some kind of a fixer, but he's also kind of a thug. And 'Scandal,' the D.C. one with Kerry Washington.
People turn up at my shows with black hearts on their knuckles, waving their hands in the air like flags.
I like to inject a bit of production value and flair to comedy, or at least to my little corner of comedy.
Even bigger directors like Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma have faced flak, that doesn't mean they've shied away from filmmaking.
I like to be flamboyant, play characters, wear make-up, play dress up. I was doing that since I was a kid.
When you've got somebody who's a flaming liberal like Bill Maher calling you out, something's wrong.
My wife and I got to go onstage at a Flaming Lips concert at Webster Hall once. We dressed up like Scientology aliens and danced around. We had a shootout onstage with Santa Claus.
Even when I was a kid, I had this insane head of flaming hair. It looked like a wig.
I like to do a face steam, so, heat up a flannel, press it onto your face and then press a cold one on afterwards to close the pores. It's inexpensive!
In wintertime I like to wear flannel button down pyjamas, and in summer I prefer to wear, well... nothing.
I'm a third-generation American, so I like that American-looking, Northwestern style with a flannel or jean shirt.
I like very funky stuff - I tend to be attracted to flare pants and anything that has glitter.
Sometimes I like practicing, sometimes I don't. But I like the result... I hardly ever get discouraged. Maybe right when it's very hard to get something done correctly, but then the idea flashes through of how to fix it. And I get encouraged. And other ideas flow.
