I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.

In New York there isn’t that weird palpable competitive thing where it’s friendly but everyone isn’t trying to top one another with jokes when you’re just hanging around.

I don’t think HBO would want to do anything in conjunction with Sub Pop but I never asked either.

Sketches have characters, exits, entrances and are vastly different.

Originally they wanted me to be Buster but I really like the Tobias part.

I went to a bunch of marches in New York and Washington, and you know I believe in the cause, but to march with those people takes a lot of compromise on my end.
