More quotes by Julian Casablancas
No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.
Julian Casablancas
If you're in a bar and a certain song comes on and the vibe is just different, it evokes the kinds of things that you want to feel, and if music can do that it's a very special thing.
Julian Casablancas
It's like an inner struggle for me, between saying I don't give a **** and trying to make it work. You want to do the right thing, but I'm sick of people thinking I'm difficult.
Julian Casablancas
Art is the image of life, it's purpose simply to enhance it.
Julian Casablancas

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
I always reference 'Mad Max' when I think about what I want to wear. But it's a fine line between that and 'Edward Scissorhands'.
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
That it's a lot harder to make a keyboard sound not-cheesy than a guitar.
Julian Casablancas
I over-think stuff a lot.
Julian Casablancas
When I hear Sam Cooke's 'A Change Is Gonna Come', it frustrates me because no matter how hard I try, I can never be that good.
Julian Casablancas
If it doesn't start with you, it dies with you.
Julian Casablancas
L.A. is a vortex. The weather there tricks you into thinking you're on vacation, even when you're working fourteen hours a day.
