| 1 | It is just sort of insulting, though, that all I will probably be remembered for is that fact that a very famous dude casually dropped my name in an interview. That this is as good as it will get for me, that I will always be subservient to that remark. (On Kurt Cobain) |
| 2 | I think that morality is not God-given or even acquired through religion, it's natural, innate and, to be honest, pretty damn obvious. It's obvious you shouldn't steal, kill or be cruel. |

| 1 | Was approached for the part of Victor Modino in Heavy (1995). He turned it down, saying he "didn't want to play that type of character". |
| 2 | Black is referenced in the song "Veruca Salt Et Frank Black" by Vincent Delerm in the album Kensington Square [2004]. |
| 3 | Frank and his wife Violet welcomed their second child, Lucy Berlin on April 21st. She was born at 5:30 am, weighing just under 8 lbs, 10 oz |
| 4 | First child, son Jack Errol Thompson, was born on 7 January 2005 in Springfield, Oregon. |
| 5 | Black is referenced in the song "Fire Water Burn" by Bloodhound gang, with the lyric "I'm not black like Barry White, no, I'm white like Frank Black is". The song then pays homage to Black's band Pixies by rewriting several lines of their song "Monkey Gone to Heaven" from Pixies' seminal 1989 album "Doolittle". |
| 6 | The Pixies reunited in 2004. |
| 7 | Former lead singer of the influential alternative group The Pixies. |
