I always want to make Strokes records and play Strokes shows.

The problem with touring isn't the traveling and the shows, it's the vegetal state you get into.

The best artists are the ones that work the hardest, and if you work hard enough, you'll eventually experience the happy accidents that are art.

I very often have night terrors. Just think of the worst possible situation, and it's a regular thing for me. I've died in my sleep twenty-three different ways.

Whenever I go to shows, I end up looking at what shoes the guy onstage is wearing and the jacket he's got on. And when you know everything's gonna be under scrutiny, it makes you feel more comfortable if you have cool stuff.

I over-think stuff a lot.

It find it funny how people from Boston and New York hate each other because of pro teams.
