“They’re just regular guys. Nick’s kind of antsy. Fab’s a bit insecure. Albert’s a socialite. Nikolai is painfully shy. Julian, up close, is kind of goofy, and a little greasy.” — The Strokes, Filter Magazine 2004

“I’m a huge fan of the chorus. It’s our first single that’s written by a bunch of us, so that’s kinda exciting … or very exciting; it depends on how you want to think about it” — Albert Hammond Jr (The Strokes) on their song ‘Under Cover of Darkness’

“I think when The Strokes broke so suddenly and so big, we were rather fancifully annoyed at them: annoyed they were shagging our women and taking our drugs, taking the space that, in our minds, was reserved for us.” — Carl Barat

“I’d still like to hear that thing the Arctic Monkeys guy did with the Rascals guy [the Last Shadow Puppets]. I think it would have been cooler if he had done it with me. I still want to hear it; I’m curious— everyone’s been talking about it.” — Albert Hammond Jr on Pitchfork 2008.

“You know, it’s all pretty strange. It’s quite strange to be on the cover of a guitar magazine. It’s a compliment. I know that I’m definitely not a Clapton, and I’m sure that some of your readers will wonder why Nick and I are on the cover. We’re young, and sometimes even I laugh when I tell people I’m a guitar player. I almost feel like I haven’t earned the right to say that yet. But I love the instrument with all my heart, and I’m excited that the process of being a better player is never ending. Of course, I also realize that it’s easy to put stuff down. But, you know, it’s harder to come up with something better.” — Albert Hammond Jr.
