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

I like to quote Homer Simpson: 'I'm like a chocoholic except for alcohol.' I come from a long line of alcoholics. It's funny because when I first started making records, I was at the tail end of a period of sobriety, so I somehow got this reputation as Captain Sober.

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

Dogs have boundless enthusiasm but no sense of shame. I should have a dog as a life coach.

I've had insomnia since I was a little kid and I never sleep well. Sometimes I sleep very badly and sometimes I sleep slightly badly. I get it especially when I'm on tour because you cross a lot of time zones, and I'm not very adaptable.

I’ve never seen the need to choose one type of music at the exclusion of another. That would feel kind of sad and arbitrary.

New York has inspired more remarkable music than any other city I can think of.
