Advice and Dream Gigs
What sort of advice would you give to your character of Bobby if you met him in real life?
Zach Galifianakis: Go Google how to make a noose? No, I think Bobby is one of those guys that probably needs help help more than Craig [Keir Gilchrist's character]. So I think he may need those drugs. I don’t know. I think those drugs can eventually hurt a person. You can also tell people to go, I don’t know if this works, but I know a lot of people think they have it bad, and a lot of it is chemical, but a lot of it is self-pity. And maybe he’s guilty of that. Theres a lot of things you can do if you're feeling sorry for yourself.
There's a great jam sequence to the Queen/David Bowie song "Under Pressure" in the movie. If you could go up on stage and jam with anyone on stage who would it be?
Zach Galifianakis: Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I'd like to jam with them. I've actually been on stage with the band My Morning Jacket, and I did a little performance thing with them, which was really fun, because it was a 5 hour concert. But, yeah, I think I would like to be in the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
