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.

You can stroke people with words.

I liked 'Diff'rent Strokes' up until about the last three or four years. I was bored.

The Strokes can play anything. They could play 'Thriller,' and it would just sound like 'Thriller' as played by the Strokes.

I always want to make Strokes records and play Strokes shows.

The stroke has given me another way to serve people. It lets me feel more deeply the pain of others; to help them know by example that ultimately, whatever happens, no harm can come. 'Death is perfectly safe,' I like to say.

I'm a fan of the Strokes, so my big fantasy was that one day I would get to sing with them.

I'm constantly in fear of having a stroke.

It is nothing new or original to say that golf is played one stroke at a time. But it took me many years to realize it.
