I like butter with my popcorn.

I can't be serious, apparently.

It's always fun to play the hometown.

Well, I think awards are pretty meaningless.

I think that I've been living on my laurels.

I feel good with a crisp hundy in my pocket.

I'd say that acting is a side project for Jack.

I want to live until they find a cure for dying.

I like 'The Graduate.' That's one of my favorites.

And I only really like to play the acoustic guitar.

I am such a desperate man headed into a midlife crisis.

I fantasized that I went to art school with the Beatles.

I have an agent and everything. I audition occasionally.

We're like a rogue satellite circling the comedy universe.

I don't like to audition. I just want people to give me parts.

To me, comedy and music are not even really separate entities.

It's not easy putting on a festival, there's a lot of moving parts.

What did happen to rock music? I think there was a hip-hop takeover.

Jack appreciates people on a very, very sophisticated and deep level.

We try to write the best songs ever, and they come out kind of funny.

Jack is really the new breed, a wild-man comedian. America's funnyman.

I'd like to do a complete album of covers with no songs written after 1937.

Jack is a special performer, the kind that comes along once in a generation.

I still enjoy watching Jack perform after a gazillion years of watching him.

We're not really band guys. We're shlumpy guys. We don't look like rock stars.

I was excited to be nominated for the Grammy, but prizes are a little strange.

In any moment, I guess we could whip out a guitar and start playing old school.

We're not very confident performers, and if we don't get a laugh we get insecure.

Well, we're on a never-ending quest to slim down. It's just very difficult for us.

Acting, music, comedy are all just delivery systems to communicate ideas and stories.

The problem is that we set the bar so high, and our stuff is so good, it's tough to top.

We used to hang out in my studio apartment, play music and dream about being rock stars.

We feel more comfortable rocking a comedy room as opposed to laughing it up with a rock crowd.

Whenever I see a girl in tie dye twirling, I'll say yes. I've arrived. I'm in the right place.

There doesn't seem to be a relationship between budget and comedy. In fact, it might be inverse.

We've been around about 20 years and we only have, what, two records? We're not terribly prolific.

We actually have some pretty good songs. But if they come out too serious, then we have to scrap them.

I've never been married, but I'm imagining what it's like: Sometimes Jack snores, and I get to poke him.

We want to be just like the greatest band. But I think we're just sort of both naturally humorous fellas.

I don't think we've ever been in an interview where someone hasn't asked, 'How did you guys get together?'

I don't really like to audition, and that works against me. It's bad to be an actor and not like to audition.

I don't think us going out in the crowd would be a good idea. I think that we'd be torn apart limb from limb.

We are going into space, and we need protection. And in case we need to space walk, we'll have to go outside.

The wheels of Hollywood grind very slowly so I'm going to have some collagen or some sort of plastic surgery.

I've always wanted to have one of those hits on the radio, but we haven't really been able to crack that code.

Jack has two boys, and when they grow up they're gonna wanna be like the D. I've already got the name: Mini D.

Seriously, though, I realise I set the bar really high with Tenacious D - one of the great, great bands of our time.

In terms of what influenced me, I grew up on The Beatles, and I always was struck by their dry British sense of humor.

I'm doing this pilot called 'Demon.' Kevin Smith is directing it. It's a comedy drama. I play a guy who rises up from Hell.

We're actually more popular in the U.K.; they really get us, and in Australia. In the non-English speaking countries, they don't really get it.
