Paul is a very creative artist but I'm more that thorough, meticulous, disciplined nut.

I was a student at Columbia College, actually, in the Architecture school. Paul would drive in from Queens, showing me these new songs. I can't remember us working it out.

When Paul and I were first friends, starting in the sixth grade and seventh grade, we would sing a little together and we would make up radio shows and become disc jockeys on our home wire recorder. And then came rock and roll.

He is meticulous and thorough. He is great communicator and teacher. He knows how to fix things when they go wrong. His record with the 3-4 defense speaks for itself.

We human beings are tuned such that we crave great melody and great lyrics. And if somebody writes a great song, it's timeless that we as humans are going to feel something for that and there's going to be a real appreciation.

I have the feeling that in a balanced life one should die penniless. The trick is dismantling.
