Roddy:
“I play keyboards in Faith No More and have always believed that an instrument is very, very gay. You must yourself, to make a certain balance with the legs and the only thing that you have more or less free is the torso, then you contort yourself in a very theatrical form.”Roddy at the ASCAP 2013 film and TV awards
"You know in the United States, there's a type of man, and what they like to do is take a gerbil, you know what a gerbil is? Its like a hamster, you know what a hamster is? They take a hamster and a plastic tube and stick it up their butt for sexual pleasure... And let the gerbil run up the tube... Up your butt."- Roddy Bottum, 1992
"we weren't really the kind of band that did groupies, gay or straight, or played that field. it seemed a little beneath what we were trying to achieve. does that make sense? i'm not being all grand with this, it's just not something that really floated our collective boat." - Roddy on groupies
