encouragement dad kids
I'm just going to try and be a good dad and not spoil the kid: give him love and encouragement but also discipline. Me and my woman, we don't want him to feel too entitled.
kings decision suffering
Now, the good of business is put above anything else, as corporations have become the new ruling body. Most decisions seem to be made like ones of a medieval king: whatever makes profit while ignoring and repressing the truth about whatever suffering it may cause (like pop music, for that matter).
night music-is all-night
Working on music is the funnest thing for me, and I love it, and I could do it all day, all night.
guitar cheesy keyboards
That it's a lot harder to make a keyboard sound not-cheesy than a guitar.
band experiments hard
But it can be hard to experiment when you're in a band.
trying matter sam-cooke
When I hear Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come', it frustrates me because no matter how hard I try, I can never be that good.
hands annoying jerk
The British press can be so annoying. They jerk you off with one hand and smack you with the other.
race people generations
I want to be one of those people, be they writers, poets, musicians, who leaves clues for the next generation. The really good people leave clues that help feed the human race. That's my aspiration.
song strong party
It's that feeling when you hear your favourite song. That feeling, whether you're in a car, at a party or alone at home or in bed and you hear this song and it just hits you so strong - that’s what we aim for.
way
I'd like to just get to a point where maybe we can say something that will be matterful. That's definitely not a word, by the way.
war manhattan elements
The artistic element of Manhattan has kind of moved to Brooklyn. Has it changed it? Yeah. Has it ruined it? I would say no. It is what it is. I say better that than an urban war zone.
fun thinking play
There are so many little places I want to play, sometimes weird places I think would be fun to play... a bar that's half full.
fans snl bigs
I am a fan of 'SNL' and a big Jimmy Fallon fan, too.
band way
A band is a great way to destroy a friendship, and a tour's a great way to destroy a band.
