I'm pretty sure that the Walkmen are the band that I've paid to see the most in my life.

No part of Manhattan these days really has the same vibe I get from a Ramones song or a Velvet Underground song.

I do think sometimes there's danger in guest appearance mania. I've seen too many examples that sound cool on paper, like 'Oh, get that guy to sing the hook on that guy's song,' and then that's all it is. It's a cool idea that sounds good on paper.

One of the things I've always loved about anime is that, even though it comes from Japan, it's so international - so much of the big anime I love takes place in Italy or France or New York.

I think that anybody who's anti-selfie is really just a hater. Because, truthfully, why shouldn't people take pictures of themselves? When I'm on Instagram and I see that somebody took a picture of themselves, I'm like, 'Thank you.' I don't need to see a picture of the sky, the trees, plants. There's only one you.

Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don't normally use.

I still think that if you're excited about something, you have to work at it.
