It's not music you would use to get a girl into bed. If anything, you're going to frighten her off.

I came to New York to be a fine artist - that was my ambition.

When things get so absurd and so stupid and so ridiculous that you just can't bear it, you cannot help but turn everything into a joke.

I don't think people are going to switch over to bikes because it's good for them or because it's politically correct. They're going to do it because it gets them from A to B faster.

To some extent I happily don't know what I'm doing. I feel that it's an artist's responsibility to trust that.

I like a good story and I also like staring at the sea-- do I have to choose between the two?

People will do odd things if you give them money.
