I've recorded at home since I was a teenager, and I'm able to sit here in my underwear and keep trying different things until something works. I think if I did that in a studio the engineer would be like, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

I'm just being myself. I'm not a very complex guy; I'm not a very studious, crazy intellectual guy. I'm just a guy.

I take making music seriously, but you have to have a sense of humor about yourself. I invite people into my life. That's how I do it.

I mean, Manhattan is cool. But weird parts, I like that. Jamaica, Queens, that's great.

Perfectionist? Thats not something I am.

[My House By The Water] is a nice instrumental track. The sound of the water is from the same place where the front photo was taken. I live really close to the airport, so there's also planes going over. It's kind of to remind me of living in there, because I'm not gonna be living in there for very much longer.
