I have a West Coast rhythm section and a New York rhythm section. I've got them spread out all over the place.

New York for me is about work. If L.A. were to become a West Coast version of that, I'd shoot myself. The climate, the lifestyle - it really fits as the yin to my New York yang.

I'm Machiavelli's offspring, I'm the king of New York, king of the coast, one hand, I juggle them both.

I like San Francisco, but I don't think I'd want to work in Palo Alto. It seems like a pretty rough commute. In many ways, I think New York has a lot of things the West Coast doesn't have.

People with brains went to New York, and people with faces came West.

I used to live on Riverside Park in New York, on the Upper West Side.
