I enjoy songwriting. It's slow-motion improvising.

When you first start writing a song, it's fun, then when you start recording it, it's fun, but by the time you've finished recording it, you're sick of it.

Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.

It's that feeling when you hear your favourite song. That feeling, whether you're in a car, at a party or alone at home or in bed and you hear this song and it just hits you so strong - that’s what we aim for.

For a long time I didn't want to do a solo thing, but there comes a point where everyone else is going outside of The Strokes and The Strokes filtering process.

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

I over-think stuff a lot.
