More From Jack Black

I Always Feel Bad For People Getting Married And Spending Upwards Of A Hundred Thousand Dollars. It Just Seems So Absurd To Me.

I'm A Jew. Thirty-three Is When Christ Died. So Though I'm A Jew, In The Back Of My Mind I Still Think That I Gotta Get It Done Before I'm Thirty-four Because Well, I Don't Know Why. He Got It Done Before He Was Thirty-four.

Every Movie Presents Its Challenges.

Tenacious D Loves Auntie Em's. Her Delicious Nutrients Are Always Energizing And Indie-fresh. Where Does She Find Those Unbelievable Recipes? Somewhere Over The Rainbow?

I Like Being Married. I'm At Home With My Wife And Kids All The Time Now. I Don't Go Out For Wild Nights.

Push-ups, Sit-ups, And A Strict Diet Of Raisins. That's My Plan [for 2011].

I'm Not Thinking About Forcing My Kids To Watch My Movies. It's Always Awkward When Someone Says: "hey, I Wrote A Song, Can I Play It For You?" That Would Be The Dynamic, If I Was Like: "hey, You're My Son, Watch My Work!" I Don't Want To Put Them In That Awkward Position. Just Because When They Get Older, That's When I'm Worried, That They'll Judge Me And Say: "yeah, My Father's ******* Jack Black. He Was In That Cheesy Movie." So, I'm Going To Keep It All High Quality. It'll Be A Quality Controller.

I Love Comedy And Drama Equally And Music Too. I Just Sort Of Follow My Nose To Whatever Seems Really Exciting At The Time. Eventually, I Might Want To Do A Rock Opera.

Funny Songs, That’s My Ticket. I Can’t Remember When It Started Or Why It Started, It’s Just Something That I Needed.

I Look For Good Directors Mainly Because If You Do Enough Of Movies Where There's Not A Real Creative Vision Behind It, You Start To Turn Into A Robot And You Want To Jump Off A Bridge.

I've Had So Many Hot, Cheesy, Corny Loves Of Music In My Life. I Had A Very Intense Billy Joel Period. So Once You've Really Joeled It Up - There's Some Good Periods Of Joel; It's Not All Hot Cheese. But I Can't Judge Anyone Else For Their Cheese. I've Deep-sea Dived In The Gouda.

You're Not Hardcore, Unless You Live Hardcore

People Scream At Me, "hey, Let's Party." I Give Off An I'm-crazy-and-i-want-to-arty-and-wrestle-you Vibe.

With The Acting, It's Somebody Else's Brainchild, And I'm Just Sort Of Helping Flesh It Out. There's A Special Satisfaction To Being The Brains Behind The Operation.

I'm An Aspiring Writer. I Hate That Phrase. You're Either A Writer Or You're Not.

There's Something About A Divorce In That Even If Your Parents Still Love You, The Fact That They Can't Live With Each Other Makes You Feel There's Something Wrong With You.

I Feel As If You're Saying That Dj Is Not A Real Job.

I'm Always Looking For A Fresh Perspective Because It's Fun To Tell Stories That Are Original And New In Some Way.

Weddings Mainly Are For Drinkers.

I Played, Like, A Year Of Piano Until I Learned The 'pink Panther' Theme. That Was My Goal. Once I Was Good Enough, I Quit. Now My Music Has To Have Some Rock.

If Beethoven And Bach Hooked Up With Mozart And Made A Band, They Could Be A Distant Runner Up To The D.

The Greatest Gift In Life Is The Ability To Think Great Thoughts And Have The Strength To Take Action So That Those Thoughts Become Reality In This Wonderful And Abundant World.

Iris, If You Were A Melody...piano Melody. I Used Only The Good Notes.

Me Personally, I Don't Have Anything Against Jesus Any More Than I Do Any Of The Religious Icons. I Think They're All Pretty Funny.

Seems Like Every Other Day There's Somebody On The News, Somebody Gets Killed Or Does Something Crazy And All The Neighbors And Everybody Says, "i Can't Believe He Did That, I Can't Believe She Did That."

I'm Used To Being Crazy And "rock-n-rolly", Which Is A Little Different Than This World. For Me, It Was A Chance To Stretch A Little Bit.

I Love Satan. Christianity Is So Boring. If Star Wars Didn't Have That Evil Imprint, They Wouldn't Sell Two Tickets. Satan Sells Tickets. That Dude, Darth Maul, He Was Down With Satan. Put It This Way, Satan Loves To Party, He Loves To F**k And He Loves To Eat Rich, Delicious Food. Actually That Sounds A Lot Like Kyle Gass (his Bandmate).

When You Get To A Certain Level Of Recognizability, Celebrity, You Can't Go Out Of The House Without Someone Going, "can I Just Have One Photo?" I Don't Mind, By The Way, If Anyone Wants One We Can Take Some Photos. But Sometimes You Just Wanna Stay In The House Or In The Hotel Room With The Shades Closed.

I Make A Mean Peanut Butter And Jelly Sandwich.

Before We Snap To Judge Someone Who's Done A Horrible Crime, Is It Possible That All Of Us In The Worst Possible Circumstances Could Be Capable Of Something Like That? So It's About Not Judging People Before Really Considering What The Circumstance Was And That Not All Murderers Are Created Equal. We Have A Tendency In Our Society To Just Say Murder? Cut And Dried. Go Away Forever. Or Maybe You Should Have The Electric Chair Yourself.

When I Was A Kid, I Thought I Was The Strongest Man In The World. Then, The Fastest Runner And Then The Smartest Person In The World. One By One My Delusions Got Shut Down. Now I Just See Myself As The Lamest Guy In The World.

I Serve Society By Rocking!

What Do You Do After You Go To Space, More Importantly? You Can't Go To A More Intense, Awesome Thing. That's The End.

The Thing Is, The Kids Always Rebel Against What The Parents Try To Push On Them So I'm Going To Pretend Like I Don't Want My Son To Hear The Rock. I'm Going To Listen To It Only In My Private Chambers. He'll Hear Echoes Of It And Say: "what Was That You Were Listening To Papa?" And I'll Say: "nothing Son, You're Not Ready."

You Only Have To Go Hardcore Humiliation On The First Film. On The Subsequent Sequels, You Can Coast.

My Children Are Magical Creatures And I Love Them To Death.

Magical Creatures

I'd Rather Be The King Of Kids, Than The Prince Of Fools.

I'd Just Like To Be In Films That I Would Like To See. I Think Of Myself As An Entertainment Arsenal. Like I Have My Acting Bazooka And My Music Machete. And You Don't Know What I'm Going To Come At You With.

Clarifying Your Identity Helps You Just Talk To Ladies.

There's Nothing You Can Really Do To Prepare To Rock. Do You Prepare To Eat A Delicious Meal? Are You Hungry? Then You're Gonna Eat It.

Buddha Is Pretty Funny. Buddha Is The Coolest, Though. If I Had To Go With One, I'd Probably Party With The Buddha.

It's All About Finding Your Voice In Whatever Your Profession... It Helps Your Confidence.

We're In The Dark Ages If J-lo Can Have A Music Career Because Of Her Ass. And Let's Face It, That's It.

I Really Wanted People To Pay Attention To Me And Like Me. And The Class Clown Thing, You Know? There's A Weird Desperation To The Class Clown When You Really Investigate It. Why Are They Trying To Be The Clown So Much? They're Filling Some Kind Of Hole.

When I Was In High School I Fell For Pretty Much Any Girl I Ever Met. But I Was So Desperate That I Couldn't Get Any Of Them Because They Sensed My Desperation! After Many, Many Years, I Learned To Relax And Just Be Myself.

I Don't Have Any Real Spirituality In My Life - I'm Kind Of An Atheist - But When Music Can Take Me To The Highest Heights, It's Almost Like A Spiritual Feeling. It Fills That Void For Me.

The Movie Spinal Tap Rocked My World. It's For Rock What The Sound Of Music Was For Hills. They Really Nailed How Dumb Rock Can Be.

Just Because You Don't Know How To Do Stand-up Doesn't Mean You Don't Know How To Put On A Show.

Part Of The Acting Gig Is When You're Let Loose Some Improvs And Put Stuff Into Your Own Words Every Once In A While. That Doesn't Get You A Writing Credit Or More Money. It Just Makes It More Fun.

There Were Times When I Thought I Got A Bit More Punishment Than Was Coming To Me, But I Don't Regret A Minute Of It Now. Each Of Us Must Be Tempered In Some Fire. Nobody Had More To Do With Choosing The Fire That Tempered Me Than Myself, And Instead Of Finding Fault With The Fire I Give Thanks That I Had The Metal To Take The Temper And Hold It.

I'm Really Excited About Our Dj Set. That's Probably The Most Exciting Of All. It's Selfish But It's Always Your Own Thing That You're Most Concerned With.

I'm Fairly Certain That Yolo Is Just Carpe Diem For Stupid People.

I Seem Like A Big Bombastic Outgoing Dude, When It Comes Down To It With The Ladies, When I Was A Single, Free-wheeling Dude, I Was Always Very Shy. It Was Difficult To Form Sentences With The Girl Of My Dreams.

Justice Is A Word That Resides In The Dictionary. It Occasionally Makes Its Escape, But Is Promptly Caught And Put Back Where It Belongs.

The Real Challenge Is If You Don't Look Super Sexy, Like A Brad Pitt, You're Going To Have To Try Harder. You're Going To Have To Make Up For It In Other Ways.

I Don't Think Of Myself As A Great Improver. A Lot Of Times There's Long Periods Of Silence When Everyone In The Recording Studio Is Looking At Their Watch And Waiting For Me To Say Something. And I'm Searching Desperately In My Brain For Anything Before Something Dribbles Out.

We're Not Just Twice As Powerful When We're Together, But Ten Times As Powerful.

I Recommend That Everyone In Their Youth Be As Out Of Shape As Possible So That When You Turn 40, People Can Go, "wow, You Look Much Better Now."

A Long Life Or A Short Life Are Of Equal Importance To God.

I Just Had A Son And Had To Take Him To The Paediatrician And He Measured His Head And Apparently He's In A Group In Which Only 14 Per Cent Of The Population Have A Bigger Head Than Him. Then She Said: "do You Mind If I Measure Your Head?" I Said: "go Ahead." And She Was Shocked, Because Less Than One Per Cent Of The World's Population Has A Bigger Head Than Mine. So I Guess That Means I'm Pretty Full Of Myself. Or That I Have A Huge Brain.

My Parents Were Very Supportive Of Me And My Artistic Endeavours. My Father And Mother Came To Every School Play I Ever Did.

I Don't Really Think Differently Of Making A Movie For Grownups Or Making A Movie For Kids, If It's Boring It's Boring, So You Want It To Be Entertaining And I Think Funny Is Funny Whether It's For Kids Or Grownups, The Only Real Difference Is Language.

Let's Face It, The Great Comedians Now That Are Handicapped In The Looks Department Are Tremendous Writers.

I Just Remember The Early Days Of Tenacious D. There Was No Talk Or Thought About Doing A Tv Show Or A Movie.

Habit Is The Strongest Thing In Life.

It's A Mistake To Just Go Make A Movie Where The Whole Thing Is Talking Down To The Kids Like, "ok, We Gotta Bring The Iq Of This Movie Down Because It's A Kids Movie" You Don't Have To Do That, Kids Can Laugh And Parents Can Laugh At Different Parts And That's Fun, And You See That With All Of The Great Kids Movies.

When You Think About Rock At Its Origin, And You Think Of The Beatles And Millions Of Kids Screaming As Loud As They Can And Running As Fast As They Can Towards The Beatles, There's No One Who Is That Kind Of Lightning Rod, Who Commands That Kind Of Power And Has That Kind Of Creative Magma.

I Remember I Prayed To God. I Was Like, "just Let Me Be On Tv." Let My Friends See Me On Tv In A Good Thing. I Like, If I'm Funny A Little Bit On A Commercial And Then I Don't Need To Act Ever Again. "just Let Them See Me." And Then It Worked. I Got The Commercial. I Was On Tv. My Friends All Saw Me. I Was A Kind Of A Star At School For Like Three Days. And Then It Faded Away And I Was Hungry And I Had To Like Make Another Deal With God. I Remember It Still.

I Took A Year Of Karate. It Was Like Obligatory... Every Kid Was Taking Like One Year Of Karate And One Year Of Piano In My Town. It Was Bruce Lee And Liberace. But I Was Not A White Belt. I Graduated. I Had A Colour Belt - But That's All You Need To Know. It Could Have Been Black, It Could Have Been Yellow, Or It Could Have Been Anything In Between.

I'm Always Looking For Talented People That I Want To Collaborate With.
