The artistic element of Manhattan has kind of moved to Brooklyn. Has it changed it? Yeah. Has it ruined it? I would say no. It is what it is. I say better that than an urban war zone.

It's like an inner struggle for me, between saying I don't give a **** and trying to make it work. You want to do the right thing, but I'm sick of people thinking I'm difficult.

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

If you're in a bar and a certain song comes on and the vibe is just different, it evokes the kinds of things that you want to feel, and if music can do that it's a very special thing.

It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.

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

I don't really care about clothes, but it's about wearing something that gives you social confidence.
