I think that what's funny is that I seem to be taking up the roles that I remember my dad having - for some reason, I'm the one who makes the coffee, and my dad was always that guy. It's kind of shocking how closely I compare to my dad.

I really know so little about recording, and I'm learning as I go.

I have no ethics when it comes to art. You just do what you can to make it as beautiful as you can.

I really [enjoy] working with new people and just sort of the freshness of it. ... I [want] to have those new conversations, musically and otherwise.

I tend to [have] a lot of ideas but then just leave them in that infant form and kind of move on.

I think that was going on with bands like The Strokes was that the idea of the band, a real band, was making a comeback. My brother in law is an example- before he was listening to some country music, even some of that awful nu-metal stuff , but there weren't many options really.

Horrible dates are when you're with people who are immature and can't really be comfortable in their own skin.
