Wow, I get to wake up again? Ok. You have to make good with what you've got.

It was supposed to be gross, and now it's gorgeous.

You look up to your heroes and you shouldn't be intimidated by them; you should be inspired by them.

I've always been a fan of melody and emotional melancholy, whether it was Rites of Spring or Tears for Fears or Neil Young. If I hear a song that has a sweet melody, I'm a sucker for it, whether it's Linkin Park or Little Richard.

CBGB represents a lot to New York City and to underground rock and to new wave and post-punk and whatever. But, you know, it's like tearing down the Jefferson Memorial or something.

Someone curating songs for you through your computer or being able to hold 10,000 songs on your watch - that convenience is pretty incredible, but so is the emotional impact of holding a Beatles record in your hand and listening to Let It Be.

You can make yourself the greatest singer in the world or the best drummer in the world with the aid of technology.
