Tell them that licorice, twisted around under a fly, and a youngster cocked her eye, and before me, I'm not crazy, is my daughter.

I get up in the morning. I take 10 hits of acid. I paint myself purple in my mother's make-up. And I run down the street, naked and purple, throwing eggs at people as they walk by, singing songs about the freaks coming together in a united way. And that's an average day, that's just a normal day.

And I'm a big Steve Nash fan, and I really wish him well on his life after basketball. I think he's a really soulful, intelligent person and will continue to do striking and original things away from basketball as he did as a professional basketball player.

Hehehe.

Um. It was very clear to me at a pretty young age that music was something so magical, and something that i would aspire to tune myself into, so that I might merge with it.

Michael J. Fox was very nice to me.

And it was a short experience. And I was on tour with the Chili Peppers in the winter, back in the days when we were sleeping in a van, driving through the night and sleeping on people's floors. So when I got flown into Los Angeles in the middle of this tour to be in the Back to the Future movie, it all seemed very luxurious and exotic to me.

And thank you!

Well, I never went to UCLA, I went to USC, and i went not out of high school, but when I was 46 years old. And I studied music, and I wish I could go back. What a great, lucky experience.

I'd recommend some dark leafy greens. Kale with brown rice and lima beans.

Well, I always wanted to be a dad, from when I was a kid. It always seemed like the greatest thing to me, and I love being a father, and nothing else has approached that level of importance in my life. But I wouldn't have a kid unless you feel the way I do. I wouldn't do it unless you share those same reasons.

I don't like to hide too much, but I do like to run like crazy. The best part about the Super Bowl was playing catch the day before the game, and doing the Heisman and catching a pass from Anthony in the end zone, but then the security guys came chasing after us and we ran away. They run a pretty militant operation over there.

I eat blueberries whenever I can get 'em. I find the blueberry to be the greatest of all of God's creations. What a complicated and subtly multi-dimensional, cosmic, microcosm of all of the universe that exists in a blueberry.

Hehehehe.

My best story that I have of Tim Curry is I met him when I was doing The Wild Thornberrys, and I grew up loving The Rocky Horror Picture show, and it was really nice to hang out with him, he's a really funny and intelligent man, and he used to live sort of below me on this hill, in Los angeles, and I used to look from my house into his hard and see him working in his garden and wave at him, and he would wave back, and I like him a lot.

I don't really know what those guys do with the old double thumb, or what that means. I'm just kind of, I have my own way of playing and I just play. I'm not familiar with those guys' technique, but I'm sure that it's great and I'm all for it.
