When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.

I sort of use as my guiding principle that show The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin. Whenever possible, do the stupid thing.

Better a loving single-parent family than a 'conventional' family where the parents hate each other and the father is a demagogue.

Nothing can stop us now 'cause we are all made of stars.

Many of my friends back in New York and elsewhere have a glib or dismissive attitude toward Los Angeles. It's a place of strip malls and traffic and not much else, in their opinion.

There are a lot of musicians who are still desperately trying to pretend that it's 1998 and by having a huge marketing campaign, they somehow believe that they can sell 10 million records. That's delusional. No one sells 10 million records. The days of musicians getting rich off of selling records are done.

I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.
