I'm one with New York, and New York is one with me. I grew up there; there's no escaping it. We're like Siamese twins, if you separate us, I'll die.

Maybe the idea of being a rockstar or being the one who's recording or playing, sort of doesn't really matter as much anymore, when you're surrounded by great musicians who bring their spirit, their own talent.

I've been given the opportunity to be alive in this day and age, and it's rare.

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

The problem with modern consumption and mass-produced products is they're designed to just literally be shoved into our mouths and rushed.

Once you get into the habit of work, you can be more productive in the things you want to do.

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