I'm responsible for starting a whole new school of pretension.

It's amazing: I am a New Yorker. It's strange; I never thought I would be.

I'm rather kind of old school, thinking that when an artist does his work, it's no longer his... I just see what people make of it.

I realized the other day that I've lived in New York longer than I've lived anywhere else. It's amazing: I am a New Yorker. It's strange; I never thought I would be.

I'm wallowing in the whole idea of just being a guy out there with a band, with songs. It's a real enjoyment.

It is amazing how a new child can refocus one's direction seconds after its birth.
