L.A.'s kind of, like, seven really cool towns. It's so laid-back. If you go in the right spot, you can walk around, and you don't need a car.

From Julian Casablancas

I think a lot of people study the rules too much and then don't know how to be creative.

From Julian Casablancas

One of the big songwriting things for me has always been: always think what you do sucks. Because the second you stop believing that, you suck. And that's a fact.

From Julian Casablancas

I'm always writing something. I've got so much stuff, I don't know what to do with it. Some of it will be Strokes, some of it will be I don't know what - stuff for pop singers. TV themes. I've got a jar stuffed with songs, all these ideas that are just me humming into a recording device.

From Julian Casablancas

I am a fan of 'SNL' and a big Jimmy Fallon fan, too.

From Julian Casablancas

From Julian Casablancas

If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio, I don't think the second option is some big sellout.

From Julian Casablancas

I'm happy to feed the illusion that I'm a lazy recluse.

From Julian Casablancas

For a long time I didn't want to do a solo thing, but there comes a point where everyone else is going outside of The Strokes and The Strokes filtering process.

From Julian Casablancas

Who you are vs. who you wish you were: Who wins?
