I live in New York and I love hanging out in gay clubs, and a lot of my friends are gay. But, for better or for worse, I'm not gay.
I love going on tour and playing music for people.
I love it when celebrities fall apart.
I love the idea of making records that people can use, records that have a sense of utility.
I may be a lifelong 'downtowner,' but Central Park really is the most amazing and the most beautiful part of New York City.
I love nyc. It's the city of my birth and probably the most amazing city on the planet.
I met Elton John at an Interview dinner, and we just sort of became friends. He's got such a wicked sense of humor.
I did a cover of the James Bond theme, and I felt like such a fraud, because the original is so good.
Being a vegan is pretty easy these days, as almost every town and city has health food stores and vegetarian-friendly restaurants.
But at the same time, I don't let myself regret things to the point that I'm paralyzed.
All of us little bald white guys wearing glasses kind of look the same.
I don't sleep very well when I travel. And as a result, I tend to be awake in cities when everyone else is asleep.
I don't think I'm a particularly good writer, and I'm not terribly insightful.
I find myself for whatever reason unable to live in the apartment I renovate and have to sell.
