DD: Liam [Gallagher] is amazing; because.... Y'know, when I first started performing live, I just thought, 'Well, I'm like the emcee. I want people to have a good time,' y'know. And I'm dancing around, making a fool of myself. It was actually my wife [that] said to me, 'Y'know, you don't have to move around so much.'
Interviewers: [Chuckling, sympathetic "Oh no"s.]
DD: And then I saw Liam; and Liam is just still. He's just still-- he's even got his hands behind his back, for the most part. And it's really, really powerful to be still.

FULL TRANSCRIPT
DD: I don't play the guitar on stage because I'm kind of self-taught on the guitar; so, I have an inability to play it the same way twice, which is not very nice for my band. So, I write the songs. And I sing, in my fashion.
First Interviewer: So on stage, you have no guitar as a crutch--
DD: I have nothing to do with my hands, if that's where you're going. Y'know, you hold on to that mic stand for dear life, is what happens. It's like a life jacket.
Interviewers: [Laughing.]
Second Interviewer: You're like Liam Gallagher, who does that--
DD: Liam is amazing; because.... Y'know, when I first started performing live, I just thought, 'Well, I'm like the emcee. I want people to have a good time,' y'know. And I'm dancing around, making a fool of myself. It was actually my wife [that] said to me, 'Y'know, you don't have to move around so much.'
Interviewers: [Chuckling, sympathetic "Oh no"s.]
DD: And then I saw Liam; and Liam is just still. He's just still-- he's even got his hands behind his back, for the most part. And it's really, really powerful to be still.

BONUS
First Interviewer: What were you doing to pay the bills while you were, uh, 'swing-and-a-miss"ing?
DD: I'd do commercials. I would get commercials, yeah.
First Interviewer: So, no waiting tables? No bartending?
DD: I bartended. Um, I catered.
Second Interviewer: Where did you live when you were here, in LA?
DD: I lived on 4th Street in Santa Monica. I got a sublet down there, in an efficiency apartment. Which means it didn't have a kitchen, which means I did my dishes in the shower. ... 4th between California and Washington, right by the stairs-- that was my gym, I'd go to the stairs.
All of the Ron lawyer stuff is hilarious. Beth is great in this one.
Ratticus is a fantastic character. I love everything they do and say. It's great.
It's also hilarious how Glenn is so confident that all of this is going to go his way. Like he has no understanding of how much his own comments and antics are digging the hole further.
Henry is great at trying to do the lawyer-y stuff for realsies and Darryl is just so out of his element that it's hysterical.
So much more fun than I remembered. And next time... The defense.
