People ask me all the time 'Are you fed up with reality TV?' At the end of the day it can affect my career in the sense that the more reality shows there are the less scripted dramas out there but I can't ever really knock them. I started on 'Popstars ' which was a reality talent show. I have respect for them.

When I started you didn't make a lot of money by being a comedian. You didn't get a lot of respect.

My parents started a business out of the living room of our home and 30-plus years later it was a multimillion dollar company. So President Obama with all due respect don't tell me that my parents didn't build their business.

Since I've started fighting it has taught me a lot about self respect self confidence and self control.

Someone's career that I admire would have to be Justin Timberlake's because he started off on Disney and he made this huge film career and huge solo music career. I really respect him as an artist.

Wars have always started over religion.

I started listening to and playing other music in the '90s. It was after hearing other bands like Bad Religion cover Ramones songs that I started to like our songs again.

But I was also a big mouth I started to develop a troubled relationship with Harry Shorten.

I've been obsessed with seeing life through music. My records my relationship with records my relationship with rock stars everything that surrounds it has been really one of the only ways that I ever started to understand the world.

I'm an awfully loyal friend. Once I've started a relationship with someone it's like they are syrup and I'm a pancake. Their syrup gets into my pancake so to speak.
