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

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

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

I'd like to just get to a point where maybe we can say something that will be matterful. That's definitely not a word, by the way.

The thing for me is I never had this burning desire to do a solo record my whole life.

I think you can only get closer to satisfaction but you never fully arrive.

People are always arguing: New York or L.A.? They're both great places, you know.
