I think of myself as an entertainment arsenal. Like I have my acting bazooka and my music machete. And you don't know what I'm going to come at you with.
If Beethoven and Bach hooked up with Mozart and made a band, they could be a distant runner up to The D.
When it's a bad movie you want to release it quietly. You try to keep it a secret like an STD.
Back in the '70s, like one of my favorite movies ever was 'The Bad News Bears', and that was a kids' movie, but I don't think of it that way. I think of it as just a great movie because Walter Matthau was so funny and so harsh with those kids.
I've had so many hot, cheesy, corny loves of music in my life. I had a very intense Billy Joel period. So once you've really Joeled it up - there's some good periods of Joel; it's not all hot cheese. But I can't judge anyone else for their cheese. I've deep-sea dived in the Gouda.
The real challenge is if you don't look super sexy, like a Brad Pitt, you're going to have to try harder. You're going to have to make up for it in other ways.
When you think about rock at its origin, and you think of the Beatles and millions of kids screaming as loud as they can and running as fast as they can towards the Beatles, there's no one who is that kind of lightning rod, who commands that kind of power and has that kind of creative magma.
We're in the dark ages if J-Lo can have a music career because of her ass. And let's face it, that's it.
When I was a kid, I thought I was the strongest man in the world. Then, the fastest runner and then the smartest person in the world. One by one my delusions got shut down. Now I just see myself as the lamest guy in the world.
I just remember the early days of Tenacious D. There was no talk or thought about doing a TV show or a movie.
You must never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.
Let's face it, the great comedians now that are handicapped in the looks department are tremendous writers.
I make a mean peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
The movie Spinal Tap rocked my world. It's for rock what The Sound of Music was for hills. They really nailed how dumb rock can be.
I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the 'Pink Panther' theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock.
Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of raisins. That's my plan.
My parents were very supportive of me and my artistic endeavours. My father and mother came to every school play I ever did.
