When Jack Black and I started Tenacious D, there were about two seconds in the beginning when we thought maybe we'd have a go at serious music. But we quickly abandoned that when we realized that everything we did tended to come out funny.
Yeah, there's probably been times when I'm watching cable and seeing there's like three movies that Jack's in and I'm sitting hogging a bag of Cheetos in my underwear and I think 'God, what happened to me? Why can't I be something special like Jack?'
Jack is a special performer, the kind that comes along once in a generation.

We're the court jesters of rock.
We want to be just like the greatest band. But I think we're just sort of both naturally humorous fellas.
I think that I've been living on my laurels.
I've always wanted to have one of those hits on the radio, but we haven't really been able to crack that code.
We're not really band guys. We're shlumpy guys. We don't look like rock stars.
I am such a desperate man headed into a midlife crisis.
We've been around about 20 years and we only have, what, two records? We're not terribly prolific.
I wanted to be an actor. Music was a side project.
