Girls are fucking crazy out here. It’s true… it just had to be said. Very distracting when you’re trying to remember lyrics.

Rolling Stone: I hear that one of the new songs, Ask Me Anything, came to you in a dream?
Julian Casablancas: Yeah – although I’m still trying to sort this one out. See, the song in my dream was a little faster than the one that made the record. So much so that I thought it was a Scissor Sisters song. I remember thinking, “man, that’s such a cool song,” -it just really blew my mind. It took me a while to realise I’d made it up myself. The thing is, I could see the Scissor Sisters guy [Jake Shears] singing it, looking into the camera, saying, ‘I got nothing to say, I got nothing to say’ over and over. It really fucked with my head, but I liked it.
It’s just the way we fucking dress, man. I remember having a conversation with Nick one day soon after we started playing shows. I used to get dressed up for shows, but it didn’t feel right. So Nick said, ‘What’s your problem? Just dress every day like you’re going to play a show.’ That became my motto. I get funny looks if I’m in a weird neighbourhood, but so what?

It feels great, don’t get me wrong. It feels fucking great. There’s not a day that goes by that I don’t count my lucky stars. But there’s more to life than fucking trying to be popular and that’s what we’re trying to say. That’s what our fucking music say. So wait ‘till it fucking comes out.

Honestly, I don’t care whether people think we’re scrambled. Our friendship is more stable today.
