I always thought 'Stump' was kind of like, you dropped something on your foot. It's not the most exotic rock-star name.
Touring on 'Folie' was like being the last act at the vaudeville show: We were rotten vegetable targets in clandestine hoods.
I am genuinely into soul, R&B and hip hop - all these genres that get slapped under the 'soul' genre. That spoke to me more than it did to my punk-rock friends. And punk spoke more to me than it did to my soul friends. I basically didn't fit comfortably in either world.
I used to work in a record store. I'm kind of a record nerd.
Yoko Ono never deserved any of the hate she got. Paul McCartney and John Lennon weren't getting along.
I definitely love kimchi. The biggest influence that eating so much Korean food growing up had on me was that I have no limit for spiciness. The hotter the better.
