Julian: I feel like you could probably just listen to the record and maybe figure it out [laughs] I don’t know. I think that, yea it’s just, I don’t know how to answer that. Again it’s like this kinda - I think if I was completely honest it would be harmless but taken out of context by annoying media – I don’t care about what a newspaper or media headline would be but it’s just sometimes it’s more about the people you know and how it affects [them], ya know what I mean? Someone would read something taken out of context by NME, and then – Like NME can say whatever they want I don’t care but then if it’s like a friend calls me and is like “hey man I was really bummed that you –“ I don’t wanna do that. So like, Strokes are brothers, and will always be and I think that, ya know, we have a chemistry too. You play that many hours together, just that alone and you just have a communication and I don’t feel the need to, ya know, kinda shut that off for any specific reason if I have free time [laughs]. But at the same time my personal vision-quest from day one has not altered and I think that you can’t tell other people what to do. And I don’t wanna tell other people what to do. And I think that with the Voidz I think we’re on the same wavelength and with the Strokes it’s more like everyone does what they do and I think that I just kinda – I’m more about getting along and not about, ya know, tension or toxic – ya know what I mean? I don’t wanna have to disagree, ya know what I mean? I just wanna work with people you agree on and it’s not that we disagree it’s just that if I was trying to do a song like QYURRYUS I wouldn’t wanna have to convince people against their will to do it, do ya know what I mean? Not that they wouldn’t wanna do it – but maybe in the past there are things that I wanted to do, there’s many things that I wanted to do that I haven’t been able to do so I feel like I’m all for collaboration and I’m all for “best ideas in the room win” and I think to my objective judgement that was not always happening.
