Mask: Paul has two masks: The tight, normal one that tends to look like a beaver, and the loose, more pig- oriented one. He says it reflects his indulgent personality.
Quote: "When we go to radio stations for interviews, we wear the masks and never fail to freak people out. Are the masks a fetish thing? I'm definitely into that stuff. Des Moines definitely has more than its fair share of freaks."
