I go a lot to see young people downtown in little theaters. It's great. If you start somebody's career, it's so exciting.

I'd always put on little shows at home, but when I was 11, I did a community event in Woodford, where anyone could go.

The only place I really get recognized is at Ralphs. Whenever I'm in L.A., I go to Ralphs, and for some reason, everyone there recognizes me.

Young adults love to play games and they're thirsty for social interaction, but a lot of bar and restaurant experiences are quite unsatisfactory on the social level. What young people need is a place that has the feel of an unhosted party where they find themselves interacting with like-minded strangers.

If you're middle aged... where're you going to go to meet someone? You're not going to go to a bar, you're not going to go to a night club; and there are the museums.

Teenagers are kinda the same wherever you find them in America.

In small towns, bored teenagers turn their eyes longingly to the exciting doings in the big cities, pining for urban amenities like hipster bars and farmers' markets and indie-rock festivals. Like everyone else, they want the vibrant and they will not be denied.

It's a great meeting place, community center, art gallery, singles bar, music venue. The record store really covers a lot of ground.

I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, where everything was in a strip mall.

I shop only at thrift stores and vintage stores. In New York, I like a place called Star Struck, and a place called The Family Jewels.
