Old film-noir movies. There's something comforting about watching black-and-white movies, and hearing this kind of music just puts me in a fantasy world. It's a really great escape for me.

Harmony has always come very natural to us because we started singing harmony at an early age. We heard a lot of different music growing up.

People want to hear clean sounds; they don't want to hear coughing in the background, pages turning.

I remember watching Looney Tunes cartoons and having the music stuck in my head.

I always related my favorite music to the movies.

The first song I wrote was "Look Both Ways Before You Cross" from Imaginaryland. I started the song by singing a bass line, "hoo hoo hoo hoo."

My grandparents on my mom's side played in a mandolin orchestra. So when I hear mandolins, I automatically think of them.

I'm not fashionable at all, and the fact that I manage to sell pictures without being fashionable is thanks to my gallery.

If you kiss a woman's mind, her body will follow.

Great men of action... never mind on occasion being ridiculous; in a sense it is part of their job, and at times they all are.

I used to look down on the world for being corrupt, but now I adore it for the utter magnificence of that corruption.
