For me, New York still ranks as the most beautiful and the most interesting city in the world. It is also the most varied in terms of the things it has to offer.

I may be a lifelong 'downtowner,' but Central Park really is the most amazing and the most beautiful part of New York City.

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

As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of making music is to get it heard by as many people as possible.

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.

I'm not sure how healthy it is to shoot police helicopters with bazookas.

I'm obsessed with politics, and I talk about it any chance I can get. I have strong opinions about how the world should be run.
