Better to be alive and talking to you than dead, but talking about everything.

For years I was looking for unnecessary things in unnecessary places. I spent my life on it. But thanks to this madness, I realized how important it is to have a future, to realize that you have it. It needs to be protected. That's what I do.

In my entire life I never realized its role. Ninety percent of the time I feel distant from the other a stranger.

To tell the funniest joke? Perhaps, the funniest joke that I'm still alive.

The group is a kind of family. These small quirks that we have all these little weaknesses gradually begin to irritate. You need to learn to live together and accept each other, good and bad.

I still like to think about the album, like in the old days as a vinyl record with two sides: one ends, another begins. Now, unfortunately, when the album download, people mix the songs in the order they like and then throw one or the other. But the album you need to listen not so. Those who did, thought his composition and structure. It's like taking a picture of the artist and cut from it a piece.

I wanted to get away from the order that taught me as a child, which read: "do Not dream of another life, do everything."

Most of my new York friends - among those who decided not to drink or take drugs, and to be honest, they are much more creative than those with whom I was hanging out before.

The life of a rocker is radically different from what was submitted to you in childhood. Boredom, loneliness and fear.

The fear of working with other people, self-doubt, fear of being judged for their work. This is all bullshit. Life is too short not to take actions that actually crave.

You can own everything there is nothing owned by you.
