I love mayonnaise. Every birthday when I was a kid I'd go to Black Angus and just dip my burger in mayo.

I'm not a person who writes really abstract things with oblique references. I look at abstraction like I look at condiments. Give me some Tabasco sauce, some ketchup, some mayonnaise. I love all of that. Put it on a trumpet. I've just got to have the ketchup and Tabasco sauce. That's my attitude about musical philosophy.

Mayonnaise: One of the sauces which serve the French in place of a state religion.
