I almost think of nerd brains as rattlesnake venom; like, you can milk it. You can milk the pulpy venom out of the nerd brain and use it for good if you want to.

We're not in an information age anymore. We're in the information management age.

Nerds get caught up in minutiae, because there is a tremendous and fulfilling sense of control in understanding every single detail of a thing more than any other living creature.

Bowling is all physics and energy distribution. It's F = ma. So it is actually one of the most science-y sports, because it literally is just a ball and a surface and objects to knock down.

When you hang around a lot of comedians long enough, you realize there's a certain gene, in every comedian. It's why we get hyper-analytical about things.

I do seem like the kind of guy who'd be obsessive about Rubik's Cubes.

No matter what tricks you use or what decisions you make, go easy on yourself as someone who's on a never-ending quest for improvement.

Steal moments of happiness if you have to, and then collect them until they are the dominant images in your psyche.

Humans cannot produce viable offspring with our closest animal cousin: the chimpanzee. We cannot impregnate a chimp. So you know what that means? No condoms.

I've gone from being bullied by jocks as a kid to being bullied by nerds as an adult.

I'm fascinated by people's process. Everyone's process is a little bit different, and just to see the different paths that people take to get where they are is really interesting to me.

You can get what you want. You have to passionately seek the life you desire.

What I love most about this crazy life is the adventure of it.

Faced with what is right, to leave it undone shows a lack of courage.

Thenewno2 is sort of my little prototype band, really.

Traveling with a big band is like being an inmate in a traveling zoo.

Of course, after I retire I want to be the housewife, really.

I would like to live in Manchester, England. The transition between Manchester and death would be unnoticeable.

A lot of young kids like myself use Instagram because it has swag - its more personal, and your friends generate it.

You know your life is over when you own a lawnmower.

Life is, I think, a blunder and a shame.
