It doesn't like revisit me in the quiet, dark night.

I think when Weezer comes up, like if Weezer is on at a party, I might or might not be like, I've played with Weezer once and I totally fumbled.

It never registered to me as like anything, anything other than like a musician just trying to make the show go. Oh my God.

No way, man. I have never once thought that Rivers was mean. I didn't know what to say in that moment. I didn't know what to do. Like, he could have just been like, okay, never mind. But the fact that he came up with a real-time solution to be like, yeah, just sing. I was so grateful.

God, I don't think that experience had any sort of detrimental pivot for my career. The thing that made my career not happen is that I couldn't take the pressure. It's not that you – I think that you offering that Weezer thing was brilliant and I wish I would have done a bunch of different things, but like not playing with Weezer and not fucking up on stage is not one of my regrets at all.

I'm looking Rivers Cuomo in the eye. Once we decide to start singing, everyone cheers and we start like dancing together and we put our arms around each other and we're like head to head singing like full blast tripping down the freeway. And I felt like we sounded really good together. Yeah, I don't know. Like all of that feels important to me.
