‘That I was the bitch and he was the butch’ - Julian Casablancas

Always respect people but never really trust them. If I need something done I try my best to go about it completely independently. Because I’ve learnt throughout my short life that people are not to be trusted. Plain and simple.

You’re watching yourself masturbate in the mirror. We’re The Strokes.
Nick Valensi while hosting Rage, July 2001 [x]
Obviously I understand if people hate hearing about us so much. I’d probably hate it too but in the end you have to listen to the album and watch us play. If it doesn’t sound good then don’t like it.

Nick and I play guitar differently, and there’s no ego involved in what we’re doing. He gets crazier solos, but I like it — it turns me on when he plays.

There is a little call-and-response going there [on the new album]. It’s an age-old technique. Learned it from a little known composer who goes by the name of…Beethoven.

On the bus after the show Albert made his specialty signature dish: Toasted Sombreros. Nick and Fab ate those bad boys right up, too. Everyone watched episode after episode of the David Chapelle show which the band’s agent had sent out to the band as part of a care package for the bus. It was a three hour drive and I fell asleep in my bunk. When I woke up at the hotel in Houston Nick and Fab were sleeping contentedly – Nick on the sofa in the front lounge, Fab on the floor. Like full cats.

“I like the idea of my shit collapsing. I feel like that when I’m playing! In the middle of a lead part I often have the urge to take my hands off the fretboard, or just grab all the strings at the same time for no reason, just ‘cos I think it sounds cool.” — Nick Valensi

Nick, I read that you've never made your bed in your life. Who did it when you were younger - your mum?
- Nick: No, it just never got done. It still isn't. I tidy it up a bit right before I go to bed, but thats it.
