Kids' shows appeal to a fun-loving mentality that I hope all humans, no matter how old they are, have some ability to relate to.

Even though there are so many different 'kinds' of music - different textures, different timbres, different attitudes - there is something divine at the core of all music.

Being OK means you're not sad, and you're not incredibly happy. You're content. You're OK. And that's the ideal place to be, to be able to say, 'I'm OK.'

Not being dead is my version of partying. So far, so good.

This idea of the geek or the nerd, all that person really is - and I would consider myself one - is someone who is not ashamed of liking what they enjoy.

I'm happy to be thought of as cool, but I never was cool. Everyone thought I was this complete moron and complete dork for the majority of my school years.

Nobody can stop you more than you can stop yourself.

So I definitely think I've gotten much, much, much better at partying and having fun the older I've gotten.

In general, I feel like when I've associated with someone, the association has elevated me and perhaps lowered the other person.

I want to be able to party for as long as possible.

I never thought I would be a role model for anything. But a role model for fun, I can do that.

For me, music, in the truest sense of the word, is about making people happy.
