The Strokes, you bond when you're 18, and you're friends. The feeling's different. When all of us get into a room, we feel like the same people from before. We weren't anybody; we were just hanging out. It's hard to understand if you're not in a band. You're one-fifth.

I feel like I can be a frontman; I feel like I have good songs.

Albert Hammond, Jr. Quotes
