I still to this day get the most inspiration from rap lyrics.

Making every record is a process full of tough times.

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

As an artist you have the luxury of maybe presenting an issue in a certain way, as opposed to actually solving it.

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

I feel like you constantly have to prove why you deserve to continue to exist.

We live in such extreme times that I think we all have a responsibility to be aware of what's happening and talk about it.
