The skit was very successful based on the applause. After that show, the three of us decided to get together and try and come up with some songs that we could all participate in.
Separation is the worst. There's no good way to deal with it, other than to get on the phone and do Skype and try to visit.
Generally, we try not to write down to kids. We really just try to write a visual, character-driven cartoon that has a lot of slapstick and really appeals to us. I guess we are just lucky that other adults find that amusing, too.
There are two types of warriors: the one that rides through on his horse and tries to slay everyone, and the sniper. I try to be more like the sniper. Bang. Bang. Bang. Break them down, shot by shot.
Slayer fans are unforgiving. Early on in the career, if something changes, it's accepted. But 30 years down the road, in my opinion, they would rather see us do a three-piece than even try to replace Jeff, in a sense.
I'm an eight hours kind of sleeper, so I definitely try to schedule that in.
The googly and the slider are my favourite type of deliveries, and I love it when batsmen try to cut or sweep me and, while attempting those strokes, get lbw or clean bowled.
There is a tendency to try to dumb everything down and turn everything into a one-paragraph press release or even less, just a slogan.
For me, a show's a show. I try to put on the best show I can for whatever audience or time slot I get.
When I try to go with what's happening and embrace that as much as I can, it seems to be a much smoother journey for me.
Between lunch and dinner, I try and snack on fruit and granola.
It's not easy. I make snap judgments, too, and I start to write people off. And then I start to remind myself of how I'm constantly asking judges not to write people off. And so then I try to resist it.
We always try to make each record a snapshot of the band at that time.
People sniff out when you try to fake something or be something you are not.
When something like that happens, people want to try to find some dirt and make it more of a soap opera. But I think we both walked away with the door still open, if we want to do something together again. So yeah, I would call it a friendly break-up.
I was frustrated with how academia tended to present feminist theory in disconnected or inaccessible ways. I wanted to try and bring a sociological feminist lens to the limited and limiting representations of women in the media and then share that with other young women of my generation. YouTube was the perfect medium.
If I'm soloing, I usually try to start with a theme, which will often stem from the blues.
There's individual turntable setups devoted to piano, bass, drums and a set for soloing as well. We like to try and explore the gamut of what a turntable can do.
I just feel the need as a writer to try something kind of deep and fulfilling.
Whenever you do something, people try to re-do it and do a better version, especially if they're in another country.
