- Julian: Writing songs is very difficult and fun… and difficult. And the fun is that it’s difficult and the difficulty is that it’s difficult… … oh damn.
- Nikolai: Nice try, man.
- Julian: WHYYYYYY????!!
Get your shit done, then have fun.

When you have kids and you see life happen, it reminds you of the creative process and it’s an amazing thing to be a part of and to observe. I feel like a voyeur into this whole world creating a being. I’m an involved father but I try to guide them and actually follow them as well – it’s quite amazing to experience.

I do remember we had an alternate take which I think is on a single, where Julian sings about Albert. The geeks can go digging that up somewhere in the archives.

I would pay to go to see the Strokes. We would be my favorite band.

He’s vague and mysterious. It’s hard to know what he’s thinking, and I can translate the best. Maybe because we are both mumblers.

- Nikolai: Uh... Nick Valensi.

They distract you. They make you think of other things than music. You can have girlfriends at home, but on tour it creates a weird atmosphere.

We met at a French school, Le Lycee. When we were in fifth grade, there was a water-main break on the avenue of our school.
My parents were already on their way to work.
I was walking home, and I told Julian I had nowhere to go.
He said, ‘Well, I’m going home, come over.’ I stayed over, and we hung out for three days and became friends.
