We can not be naive and think we can go it alone.

I think in the old music, everything was so competitive. It was all about - very selfish in a lot of ways.

I think it's important that we run that tension between the way things are, in terms of the way we're governed, and the way we sort of become complacent.

My only ambition when I came to Hollywood was to pay my rent.

I'm a self-taught musician, so I never really had the restrictions of any one instrument. I would always just sort of pick up instruments and make noise with 'em.

I am happy to have success in the entertainment biz, but the root of my happiness comes from my neighborhood, NYC.

When I feel myself getting overwhelmed, I take a deep breath and eat a piece of chocolate.
