I had dreams, but I didn't have the sense that they would necessarily work out. They seemed very far-fetched.

We would go down to Riverside, California, which is very poor now, but that's where my grandfather grew up. He grew up during the Depression in Riverside.

I had the kind of family where I was told it was my job to study. They would work out the finances.

I live in New York, and I love New York as well, but I think Los Angeles is a place where if you have the right person with you, there are all these little worlds that you would never guess by just looking at the exterior of what the city is.

I work out sort of moderately.

Most bands don't work out. A small unit democracy is very, very difficult. Very, very difficult.
