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 love nyc. It's the city of my birth and probably the most amazing city on the planet.

Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.

It just seems like musicians want to sell a few records and put out a perfume line, and I think it's so sad that there are so many musicians who don't want to change the world.

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.

The only sort of descriptive adjective or catch phrase for my music would be 'eclectic.'

I need an audience way more than an audience needs me.
