Trevor Dunn quotes:

Pop culture is not about depth. It's about marketing, supply and demand, consumerism.

I feel akin to the Platypus. An orphan in a family. A swimmer, a recluse. Part bird, part fish, part lizard.

Mullets are still going strong in the south and places like St Louis or the Carolinas.

Harry Patch didn't get enough recognition. Jerry Garcia got too much.

It wasn't until after private lessons and learning bass lines that I even noticed bass in the music I was listening to at that age. My ears were blown wide open.

Now I am obsessed with collecting Platypus paraphernalia.

Music is a very personal and emotional form of communication.

Bungle is definitely a priority right now.

I guess the two Manifesto, Communicating Vessels, Mad Love, and some of his poetry made a significant mark on me but as far as bringing a literary element into the music I see it as a much broader assimilation.

I have no inflated ideas about success anyway.

I never understood why the metal heads in my school hated the punks.

I love being a musician. I love the lifestyle. But I think it's probably as difficult and frustrating as anything.

Different people bring out different aspects of ones personality.

The bungle tour is a bit up in the air due to the fact this at we are getting screwed by our overseas label.

I remember when metal was something you really had to search out, and now I hear it on car commercials.

I think it was more personal, but I certainly tried to adapt certain concepts of Surrealism.

There's a reason I moved to NYC, and if I listed all the musicians on my list you'd grow weary.

If you want music that speaks to you, that LISTENS to you, you have to go out of your way, which I enjoy actually. I'm constantly on a private-eye kick to find the totally obscure.

After realising my natural affinity towards surrealism several years ago I decided to study it's origins and definitions.

Hopefully, as a band, it will grow and develop for a good length of time.

I don't really know why I chose bass except that it was different than guitar.

Being in several, disparate bands is what I thrive on.

I need to broaden my horizons.

NYC is chaotic. And I am attracted to chaos.

If I can introduce someone to something new, as is constantly happening to me, then I am elated.

But I also like to be in control, like anyone else. I try to achieve a balance.

I mean, I would hope that I have a style or personality that is evident wherever I go.

I take all of my music seriously and personally.

I'm comfortable, but not satisfied and I hope to always feel that way.

It's too hard for me to comment on the sorry state of our culture.

I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.
