I love it at our shows when there's the big, tough, punk guys standing next to the weird teenagers and the gay guys. It's so weird, and it's so awesome.

I think, if anything, it would be fun to play at house parties or in Japan.
Several times, I've been talking with some gross person at a party and had them literally walk away - mid convo - to ruthlessly approach someone more famous.
'Hairdresser Blues' was written when I was deep in a ten-year depression that I escaped shortly after recording that album. I don't like that album.
I hate old white men.
Hunx is kind of just, like, a really trashy punk band, honestly.
I'm a strong believer in just doing your thing. No matter what.
I just feel like, unfortunately, I'm a person that has to be creative to live. Whether that's, like, painting or making sculptures or writing songs, sometimes I just feel like that's the only thing you can do.
I've never been in a band where I didn't dress up. It just feels very me.
Falling off stages or making out with gross guys isn't something I'm very fond of.
I don't understand why you have to be one boring thing your whole life. Why can't you just do whatever you want all the time?
Somebody once described my music as 'Hairdresser Pop.' I don't know what that sounds like.
Often, I feel like a cheap imitation aesthetically looks better to me than the real, out-of-reach thing. It's amazing that brands create a whole illusion of exclusivity and luxury, and then you can go get the $5 version of a $30,000 thing and feel the same way but have a cool little secret.
I'm bored of just being in a band and touring.
Women that hate other women - that's the worst.
People should be themselves.
I'd love to work on art and music full time.
I just find it weird if you're in a band and you don't know how to make it look the way it sounds. You really need to be involved with the entire creative process in order for it to totally work.
Sometimes I fantasize about becoming a cartoon and only making music for cartoons. I can easily visualize my future in music when I go into that fantasy in my head.
I'm basically a mom who loves vision boards, dream lists, and 'The Secret.'
Hunx was more punk, and Seth Bogart is more pop and plastic.
Beauty school gave me brain damage.
I really like Mark Mothersbaugh.
Gravy Train!!!! damaged me because I don't think I will ever again experience something so intense and exciting. We were so young and pent up - and didn't care about anything else in the world.
In San Francisco, I lived in Bayview-Hunters Point.
As soon as the makeup comes on, I transform myself. I like being an entertainer and putting on a show.
I think I'm a really sweet guy, kind of shy and nice and stuff.
I have extreme ADD, and I'm into all kinds of stuff.
I think fashion should be funny. Seriously!
I love the idea of not being able to afford something and just making your own version or buying a cheap knock-off instead.
I love the beach.
I wear a lot of wigs and stuff on stage to make my hair look bigger.
I'm from Tucson, Arizona.
I'm into the natural look on men.
There's one side of me that just wants to get up on stage and be punk and go crazy and stuff like that; and there's also this other side of me that's like a grandma - really into arts and crafts.
I'm not sure, exactly, why someone would want to move to S.F. or N.Y.C., even. I would only wanna live in L.A. or a tiny town like Provincetown or Palm Springs or Guerneville or something like that.
I like keeping an ongoing list of dream collaborators on my phone. I like to write down all of my dreams, actually.
I hate Victoria's Secret but can definitely get into Forever 21.
All I can say is that it's important to follow your dreams.
I really love 'Hairspray.' I love the idea of this teenage dance show where you have to go through all these competitions to get to the next level.
I blacked out my childhood after a string of traumatic events in my late adolescence.
I don't have any qualms about selling out.
Just because I have a sense of humor and use bright colors, people always say it's 'camp.' I'm just doing my thing. I think of it as art.
If I wanted to make a subversive record, it would be horrifying and insane.
Gravy Train!!!! started out as a joke where we'd crash parties and be really obnoxious, and then somehow we got somewhat famous, and it was really weird.
The idea of taking a brand that already exists and making a really poor-looking version of it, with acrylic or puffy paint, is really aesthetically pleasing to my eyes and also funny.
I traded all my 'Star Wars' toys for Pee-wee Herman toys. I wonder if I had a crush or him or something? The colors and the way that everything looked so cool or crazy just appealed to me as a young gay in Tucson.
Bouncers suck.
I dress kind of flashy.
I just don't want to be boring.
