If there are a couple of adjectives people use to describe me, anger is usually in there. I've never taken that as criticism. It's the way I naturally communicate. But I'm not faux-angry, like Lewis Black, or angry like a gun-toting crazy person. I'm just angry in a mild way - it's not like I'm going to do anything about it.
I love doing stuff with Todd Barry and Jon Benjamin. We give the stage to good bands and funny people.
My biggest problem is retaining the exact information.
I hate bumper stickers, you can't sum anything up. All you do is paint yourself in some caricaturist corner.
We should just get somebody from the left and the right and they should all throw bumper stickers at each other and the first one to cover the other one wins.
Originally they wanted me to be Buster but I really like the Tobias part.
I don't think HBO would want to do anything in conjunction with Sub Pop but I never asked either.
I think I'd be a really good dad. So perhaps I'm doing society a disservice by not having as many kids as possible.
As for Tenacious D, of course it could work as a full length movie; all it requires is a great writer and great director with an ability to think outside of conventional film comedy.
I'm of the mindset that most people who have kids are, which is, 'Hey, I want another me. I like me. I'm pretty cool, and I've got really great ideas, and the way I think is the right way to think. Let's put another one of me out there.' So I'll have kids one day.
I'm pretty happy. I obviously have complaints about things, but for the most part, I'm on the above-average side of happy people.
I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.
I'll think of the idea and then I'll write something down, then within that there will be a joke or two which is the original thing which I thought was funny.
In New York there isn't that weird palpable competitive thing where it's friendly but everyone isn't trying to top one another with jokes when you're just hanging around.
The best thing about me is there are no skeletons.
