But it can be hard to experiment when you're in a band.
Julian Casablancas
Now, the good of business is put above anything else, as corporations have become the new ruling body. Most decisions seem to be made like ones of a medieval king: whatever makes profit while ignoring and repressing the truth about whatever suffering it may cause (like pop music, for that matter).

Julian Casablancas
The only goal right now that I can have, the only thing I can offer right now, is the need to get good at music, do something with quality.
Julian Casablancas
The thing for me is I never had this burning desire to do a solo record my whole life.
Julian Casablancas
Who you are vs. who you wish you were: Who wins?
Julian Casablancas
It's not like I wake up and songs flow out of me.
Julian Casablancas
I guess the best thing about marriage is the fact you've got the coolest partner you can imagine by your side for all the things you're going to face in your life. So far, Juliet's been there for me. She's been good for my voice, good for my everything.
Julian Casablancas
Can our mind evolve to be something other than an extension of our animal needs?
Julian Casablancas
I feel slightly confused about certain things. Practical and tactical things. When you try to make everyone happy… in the end you've got to make yourself happy.
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.
Julian Casablancas
No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.
