To me, if you are in the same building with Peter Sellers or John Cleese, or any of those guys and holding your own making other people laugh, that’s a compliment.
Make that money run like honey on your tongue.
She wears high tech Devo suit, she changed her name to Xerox, she hides quaaludes in her boots.
He lies right at you, you know you hate this game. He slaps you once in a while and you live and love in pain.
I just want your body, Sheeba, I don’t want your brains.
If I spray it on the seat, lady gonna tie a big knot in the meat.
Nobody and nothing beats The Simpsons. Even after all this time, it’s still the best satire since Monty Python.
You can’t get the visual thing on the record as much as you’d like to. We produced this album, and we’d never done that before, except when we produced singles for ourselves.
It’s Frank’s painting on the cover. We were originally going to use a Salvador Dali painting that we got permission from Salvador Dali to use, and Frank found this one, and it really did fit the music much more.

So what this is is us, our personalities refined down on to a stage performance. In other words, the way we play is the end product of the way we live – we live in the cities, you see.
Oh, I love to lie. That’s one of my favorite things in the world, coming up to somebody, especially press people, and telling them some enormous lie that couldn’t possibly be true.
My fastest time in high school was a 4:29 mile. I think cross-country has something to do with my longevity in my business. When you’re in an eight-mile race, you never give up.
It’s a big flash of all these things and whatever you take out of that statement’s one statement, one mind, one statement, one act, one show, and all the songs are one.
Every rock’n’roll band I know, guys with long hair and tattoos, plays golf now.
