Julian Casablancas
The thing for me is I never had this burning desire to do a solo record my whole life.

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
I mean, I guess you could say I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
Julian Casablancas
I think all of Manhattan has pretty much become a bar-slash-nightclub-slash-restaurant. There were always pockets of that. But now every corner of Manhattan is that.

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
I want to be one of those people, be they writers, poets, musicians, who leaves clues for the next generation. The really good people leave clues that help feed the human race. That's my aspiration.
Julian Casablancas
If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio, I don't think the second option is some big sellout.
Julian Casablancas
No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.
Julian Casablancas
I'm really grateful. But I never had the rock star dream. I thought it would be cool to be a modern-day composer.
Julian Casablancas
Working on music is the funnest thing for me, and I love it, and I could do it all day, all night.
Julian Casablancas
But it can be hard to experiment when you're in a band.
