"I remember the band coming up and Charles handing me a white envelope that had a cassette or a DAT in it of Doolittle. And I remember putting it on and being amazed at my own good fortune. "Debaser" is track one, and I had no reason to suspect that the new album would be that comprehensible in the face of the other records. The other ones were more inscrutable, and this one was positively obvious, and deliciously so. And I remember sitting in my chair thinking I was the luckiest A&R guy in the world."

"I got the time, I got the hours, I got the days, I got the weeks. I could say to myself I've got the words but I can't speak."

"We named our children after towns that we've never been to"

"How consistent. How can some so consistently mess up as much as every instance. How can someone inconsistent mess up so consistently."

"I've got it all... most."
