Forgive them even if they are not sorry

No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.

When the Strokes first started playing gigs, instead of getting into a costume for the shows, we talked about how we should dress every day, in real life, like we're playing onstage. I don't really care about clothes, but it's about wearing something that gives you social confidence. Or maybe helps you pick up chicks.

No matter who I'm talking to, I always talk like I'm doing an interview.

You know some of the people in The Strokes, yeah, their parents had success - but we didn't live like yuppies.

Greed is the inventor of injustice as well as the current enforcer.

Now, the good of business is put above anything else, as corporations have become the new ruling body. Most decisions seem to be made like ones of a medieval king: whatever makes profit while ignoring and repressing the truth about whatever suffering it may cause (like pop music, for that matter).
