Musicians always come off sounding a little bit pretentious, and a little bit... I don't know, hypocritical, from what they do, talking about strong issues.

There is a lot of work just in terms of traveling and logistics and people and gear and all that kind of stuff. But I never really have problems playing music. That never seems like work.

I started a recording studio. I started producing people and doing remixes.

I suppose listening to a double album is kind of like going to the chiropractor... It's pretty good for you but you can't force it on anyone else.

We have a partnership deal with New Line Records, which is part of New Line Cinema, and... I worked on that.

Even from a listening end now, I'm still completely a fan of music.

Well, I'm pretty domestic actually. I walk my dog. I go grocery shopping. I hang out with friends. I'm pretty normal, whatever normal is, on my off time.

No, I've heard over the years that it's nice for them to see somebody who's like, you know, a well-known successful musician who's Asian. I've heard it from a few musicians, too.

I live most of the time in New York now. I have an apartment there.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.

I love a lot of the New York bands, but Patti Smith stands out. I just read 'Just Kids' and it's an inspirational, well-written account of an emerging New York artist in the late seventies.

The future can ever promise but one thing and one thing only: surprises.

I am not being able to figure out what is your type.slowly you changed and became a devil or you were just hiding your real face since the very beginning.

I love the excess of Christmas. The shopping season that begins in September, the bad pop star recordings of Christmas carols, the decorations that don't know when to come down.

To be a musician, you have to be honest... to be honest... to be honest.

I am the planet's most affectionate life-form, something like the cross between a golden retriever and a barnacle.

I like photographing the people I love, the people I admire, the famous, and especially the infamous. My last infamous subject was the extreme right wing French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.

Medicaid is a vital safety net for New York's poor and vulnerable, young and old alike.

When the steede is stolne, shut the stable durre.

It was, I remembered thinking, the most difficult walk anyone ever had to make. In every way, a walk to remember.

Every time I hangout with Sandra Bullock I think I want to be her. I want to be married to Jesse James.
