My dad being a DJ, I heard all the hits, no matter what. My mom always had on the radio because my dad was on it.

One of my favorites has always been 'Swap Meet.' One of the reasons why I like that is it's a song that's in a drop-D tuning, and of course, also being a guitar player, it's one of the songs that I really like the riff on it.

I've always sort of felt that, for me, everything's so much more about the music than the accolades.

It doesn't matter if you get 3,000 hits in 18 years or you get 3,000 hits in 22 years. You still have to reach that milestone. You still have to hit 500 home runs, and it's like a pitcher doing it. If you get 300 wins in 19 years and a guy gets 300 wins after 24 years, he's still doing something right.

Oh, my only - if I had one frustration in being on 'West Wing' is I wasn't on it enough, because I was in and out.

I forgive my mom for being a psycho and my dad for being a loser.
