Lyrics are so important, I hate every second of writing them, but it's something I take great pride in when it's finished.

It's as simple as finding something on the street and then writing a jingle. If I'm driving and I have my turn signal on and it's rhythmic, maybe I just write a song to that.

In a city like New York, any night can be completely different, even in a subtle way.

It's interesting to feel the pressure of having to be outgoing, because I think in general, as a human being, I'm pessimistic and introverted. But, it's cool, because it's a whole different side of me, and I impress myself. Even at times when I think that there's no possible way that I can be engaging, I'll suddenly pull it out and impress myself.

I don't have a Twitter or a Facebook, but that doesn't mean I'm any more productive than the rest of the world.

It takes a lot to still believe in people.
