I stopped drinking and realised New York still has a lot of charm, but it has become so bourgeois and affluent - and I can't really complain because I'm sort of bourgeois and affluent myself, but I like living in a place where artists and musicians and writers can actually pay the rent.

One problem with a lot of musicians is that they remove themselves in a studio and make a record and assume people are going to pay attention to it just because they've made it.

I love that vinyl is actually growing in popularity, and that there are so many great record stores.

I'm just fascinated with the world that I can see, but I'm even more fascinated with the world that I can't see.

People who meditate and have a good spiritual practice, their immune systems are stronger. Generally, they are happier and healthier.

Lord, I want to be up in my heart.

Call me a nerd if you like, but I do find it hard to leave home without my laptop and a good book.
