Musically, New York is a big influence on me. Walk down the street for five minutes and you'll hear homeless punk rockers, people playing Caribbean music and reggae, sacred Islamic music and Latino music, so many different types of music.

As a New Yorker you can't help but be proud of the fact that so much music and culture started here. Punk rock, jazz, hip-hop and house music started here, George Gershwin debuted 'Rhapsody in Blue' here; the Velvet Underground are from New York.

When I do have time to work on music, I'm kind of selfish, and would rather work on my own stuff than someone else's.

I love to be busy. I'm envious of people who are able to take their spare time and relax. All I like to do is work. Perhaps it's lingering Calvinist guilt?

Punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business.

David Lynch is my friend, and I love his movies and his art and his music. Few things make me happier than working with him.
