| bgcolor="aaffaa"|"One day nobody wants to hear you and then when you turn around you are on the radio and the clubs are jammed," Sharp said. "There is always something weird going on. We recently [[Weezer concert: 11/29/1994|played Pittsburgh]] and the entire crowd started chanting '[[Brian Bell]]! Brian Bell!' I can't understand our popularity, but I'm glad it's happening.' | |||

| bgcolor="aaffaa"|Well, when we were shopping our demo, it seemed like [[Geffen]] was the only people that were really, uh, interested in us, so we just went with them because we had no, like, indie rock pretensions, or like, y'know "no, we can't do that, we have to sign to [[Epitaph]]" or anything. So, after we recorded it, it took about six months for the record to come out so we were all just starving, so that was a terrible buildup for me. And they just put us on the road after that, | |||

| bgcolor="aaffaa"|"Yes, I saw them play at club Lingerie before they got signed. A friend of mine said, “There’s this band, they’re heavy and super melodic and super trippy and you have to go see them.” And I saw them and they were great. I barely remember what they look like, [but] they looked like nobody else at the time, that’s for sure. [At that time] I was all messed up in the funk-metal thing that was going on, like the Chili Peppers, Fishbone, In Living Color and 24-7 Spies, that was a big scene, and there was a big rap-rock scene too. I was not hooked up in the glam scene at that time. I’ve gone through a lot of different phases and it has ended up benefiting me in some way. Christ, in ’84 I was listening to Duran-Duran and Ultravox and I recovered from that." | |||

| bgcolor="aaffaa"|"There was almost another easter egg, called "The Madness of Stoner" - it was footage I shot at our apartment (on Stoner Ave.) in 1991, even before Weezer. First I had to edit it down because Wilson was singing all these cover songs and we couldn't have that in there, which killed half the funny parts. Then the whole thing was axed for being just "too freaking weird". Which it definitely was, I guess. There was loud thigh slapping, ballet dancing, ice cream trucks, pseudo-mystical claptrap, mild nudity... " | |||

| bgcolor="aaffaa"|"I think that the artist (I'm only speaking for myself here), should be completely removed from the process. The only thing that matters to me is the work. It should always be powerful enough to speak or scream at people. The artist shouldn’t have to stand there at the opening, explaining things to people." | |||

| bgcolor="e4e708"|In response to the question "We’ve spoken about your inclination to let your art speak for itself, as opposed to explaining the intention or concept behind it. You give each painting a provocative, ambiguous title and then stand back and allow people to extrapolate meaning for themselves. I like this noncomittal, noninterventionist stance. The more the art speaks for itself, the more possibilities it offers. It can mean many things to many people. Why did you take this approach? " | |||
