A lot of my friends who grew up in Manhattan have a strange phobia about Brooklyn. It's big and scary and they get lost.

The strange thing about hotel rooms is that they look familiar and seem familiar and have many of the accoutrements that seem domestic and familiar, but they are really weird, alien and anonymous places.

One of the nice things about licensing music to movies or advertisements is you can reach a lot of people who normally wouldn't hear music.

I have actually found myself buying up more and more old analogue gear. I have this strange obsession with old drum machines.

The good thing about not being drop-dead gorgeous is that as time passes, I don't have much to worry about. I have friends who are actors and every day they look in the mirror with trepidation.

My real friends are definitely the people I grew up with - the people who don't care about my music career at all.
