Excerpt from Anger about raising Ari's children:

“As a life pursuit for the two of us [John and Nora], parenting Ari’s kids was almost depressingly educational: you have to realize that they come first. That’s very draining on the creative selfishness of being artistic. Because there is an element of selfishness in writing songs, the luxury of saying whatever you please. You have to get a little more in tune with the domesticity situations, and understand that you might not be quite bang on the money in that department. When I’m ranting and raving, there are other aspects to consider, and consider them I will.”

He also made Country Life butter commercials. He's a real mixed bag, that Rotten.
