My first job in NYC was playing a gig in the early nineties at CBGBs.

There is a lot of work just in terms of traveling and logistics and people and gear and all that kind of stuff. But I never really have problems playing music. That never seems like work.

I started a recording studio. I started producing people and doing remixes.

I suppose listening to a double album is kind of like going to the chiropractor... It's pretty good for you but you can't force it on anyone else.

We have a partnership deal with New Line Records, which is part of New Line Cinema, and... I worked on that.

Even from a listening end now, I'm still completely a fan of music.

Well, I'm pretty domestic actually. I walk my dog. I go grocery shopping. I hang out with friends. I'm pretty normal, whatever normal is, on my off time.

No, I've heard over the years that it's nice for them to see somebody who's like, you know, a well-known successful musician who's Asian. I've heard it from a few musicians, too.

Musicians always come off sounding a little bit pretentious, and a little bit... I don't know, hypocritical, from what they do, talking about strong issues.

I live most of the time in New York now. I have an apartment there.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.

May your life be filled with more gratitude.

And the scary thing is, I’m on a fast track to that same aviary. Unless I find my wings.

To see this place would truly be worth a trip to India in itself, and from the spirit of the religion that lived here one can learn more in an hour of viewing than from all the books ever written.

If you don't give education to people, it is easy to manipulate them.

I love what Joe Eszterhas written about Bill Clinton. It's hilarious, Clinton as a rock star, which is the way we should remember him.

I have often thought, says Sir Roger, it happens very well that Christmas should fall out in the middle of Winter.

I can't go to sleep at night if I didn't accomplish at least something. That's the one thing that keeps me up.

Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth; help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.

Peace is not just the absence of mass destruction, but a positive internal and external condition in which people are free so that they can grow to their full potential.

It is a sin to judge any man by his post
