voice your-side faces
I guess the best thing about marriage is the fact you've got the coolest partner you can imagine by your side for all the things you're going to face in your life. So far, Juliet's been there for me. She's been good for my voice, good for my everything.
desire burning records
The thing for me is I never had this burning desire to do a solo record my whole life.
song simple focus
I'm not a pop song lyric writer. I can't just focus on one simple meaning or even a double entendre.
yuppies people parent
You know some of the people in The Strokes, yeah, their parents had success - but we didn't live like yuppies.
people levels way
A tour is the most intense, stimulating way to hear music; it's the best form to receive it. There's genuine excitement from people. I feel like we've stepped up a level.
song flow wake-up
It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.
moving kids culture
In most cultures, you can have a kid at 18 and it's not a big thing. It's not like, 'Oh, you've got to get a different haircut and move to the suburbs and act, like, 35.'
song fun writing
When you first start writing a song, it's fun, then when you start recording it, it's fun, but by the time you've finished recording it, you're sick of it.
kids thinking causes
Kids are always honest, 'cause they don't think they're ever going to die.
new-york always-arguing people
People are always arguing: New York or L.A.? They're both great places, you know.
vanity common-sense common
Vanity can easily overtake wisdom. It usually overtakes common sense.
sweaters people tennis
People often put me in a V-neck tennis club sweater, driving a Bentley, but my life wasn't like that.
problem touring states
The problem with touring isn't the traveling and the shows, it's the vegetal state you get into.
dream stars grateful
I'm really grateful. But I never had the rock star dream. I thought it would be cool to be a modern-day composer.
