"The Big Lebowski. Jeff Bridges – I almost put Starman down, too, but I really think I kind of don’t remember the movie so much because I haven’t seen it in so many years – but I love Jeff Bridges, and I love the movie he just did. What was it called? Crazy Heart, he’s great in that. But, I mean, there’s something about The Big Lebowski and that combination with the Coen brothers sensibility, which, he nailed that down. I don’t know exactly what you’d even call that, but brilliant. I loved his performance in that, and I loved John Goodman, and I loved Steve Buscemi. And you know who else was great in that, was Philip Seymour Hoffman. He was really good in that movie, too. Yeah, great, great, great fan of that movie."

"Sometimes I nose around on the internet, seeing what people are talking about. I'll download a track from iTunes just to check things out. 'Wanderlust' is one of the things I listened to. I think it's just fantastic. I love the way it's just got that one drumbeat, I think it's a drum machine, I'm not sure, and that's all it does. [Hayden Thorpe] has got a fantastic voice. It's got these sort of crappy-sounding keyboards, organs. Some of that album [Present Tense], I've been listening to it over the last few months, sometimes it's so overly pretty it puts you off a bit. They're obviously in love with 80s synth sounds, a lot of people are these days, and sometimes the arrangements on some of the songs just feel very 80s and slightly too ornate and slightly too pretty. But on 'Wanderlust' I think they completely nailed it and it's really just one part. It doesn't go through lots of different sections, the way the vocals and the music develop. It's a great song, very poppy, very pretty, driving and it makes its point."

"I watched [it] just about every day growing up. In like seventh or eighth grade every day after school, my friend Andrew and I would watch Wayne’s World. And I think it’s a great example of a sketch effectively turned into a movie and a story that really works with a good journey. Not easily accomplished but such a good journey. And I’m drawn to it because I watched Saturday Night Live growing up, but also I think the duo of Mike Myers and Dana Carvey, who are both from the same world and yet are such different guys. You know, the sort of confidence and leadership of Wayne and then the understated kind of genius of Garth: very meta and self-aware, which at that time wasn’t all over TV and film yet. It’s like the cross promotion for Pepsi and Advil and all that kind of stuff wasn’t overly present yet, and I think he really nailed it."
