It would be great to take one city street and turn it into a pedestrian corridor and see what kind of effect it has on the businesses in that area - It's the future I think.

On some planet, I probably could have been a lawyer. On some planet, I could have been somebody in advertising.

If you have a lot of nature in your city, it becomes a more enjoyable place. That's my own feeling about it.

I like rhythmic things that butt up against each other in a cool kind of way.

I like to play music. I like projects. I like excuses to hang out with my friends and play music.
