Don't you dare get to the top and not know what to do.
Julian Casablancas
The British press can be so annoying. They jerk you off with one hand and smack you with the other.
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

Julian Casablancas
You know some of the people in The Strokes, yeah, their parents had success - but we didn't live like yuppies.
Julian Casablancas
