I do love the Nat King Cole stuff, the classic Christmas records. There's something about putting those records on and hearing his voice at Christmastime that brings back a lot of great memories of growing up.

I was attracted to black music for the same reason that I loved those old Irish ballads. Both were social statements of sorts, and both were indigenous to their respective cultures: Ireland, where my father had grown up, and towns like St. Louis along the Mississippi River, where I was growing up.

I played so many clubs growing up, and back in that period, in the '60s, we'd play, like, four, five sets a night.

I use Facebook, but I find that I'm... if I put up a picture of my dog there or a sunset or something, I get a million hits. If I mention anything to do with my career, three people respond. And/or if I say anything political, I have to duck afterwards. I try to be selective.

Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one's aim.

I think YouTube has been super instrumental in our success as well, because I think there's something really important about seeing and hearing what we're doing.

You can give them the opportunity to thrive, but when it comes to finding happiness or success, kids are really on their own.

I never really thought of comedy as a career. My goal was, when I moved to New York, I was going to write serious films.
