I like to think of myself as a combination of Sid Vicious and Virgil Thompson

One day you will come to Montauk and see your dad playing the piano And see your other dad wearing glasses Hope that you will want to stay for a while Don't worry I know you'll have to go

Mowing your lawn is against nature.

I'm 33 and in my "Jesus year," and I want it all right now. I want a perfect body. I want to have a perfect love affair. I want every member of my family to be healthy and happy. And I want the world to save itself and for America to realize that it has to give up its idea of being an empire. Wait until I hit 40; then it'll all come crumbling down.

There is this church that I go to a lot in New York. I'm not religious but I love lighting candles and stuff. I find it useful.

I definitely try to broaden the scope of music. I don't know if it's pop or classical or what, but I'm religiously challenging myself all the time, for better or for worse.

Prima Donna is my kind of love song to opera but it's not the full experience.
