I kinda like messing with perception a little bit. Kind of what drugs do sometimes, and drinking. I mean, you know, you mess with your mind a little bit to see life from different angles. Within reason, if you can handle it.

Sometimes I've sat outside, not to tan, but as a result of that I ended up tanning slightly.

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

I don’t shake at the site of alcohol anymore. I don’t feel the need for it. If anything I’ll get stoned. I always told myself if it got to the point that it was affecting my songwriting and music that I’d stop. And it did get to the point.

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.

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

Kids are always honest, 'cause they don't think they're ever going to die.
