My dad has a really great record collection that basically went up to the year I was born: 1984.

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.

If you're lonely, bored, or unhappy, remember you are mad young. There is so much time to meet new people and go to new places.

I don't like to generalize but I've had nothing but bad experiences with Mexican food in Europe.

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

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