“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.” IfsThinkingWantPlayHandsWould BeKidsSongFatherBlackQualityWatchesPositionSonJudgingMouthsYeahHeyWorriedMy SonAwkwardCheesyHigh QualityHey YouJudge MeControllers Author:Jack Black

That's the goal, I think.” ThinkingTryingMeanSongGoalQualityBandMeaningfulHardestSense Of HumorFreakHardest ThingHeartfeltCheesyGagaVery Mean Author:Mac DeMarco
