Life begins at 40.

The thing about old friends is that sometimes you end up talking about the same thing over and over again.

My biggest fear is fear itself. Fear is the only thing that can own you in a lot of ways. In a lot of things you want to do, you are held back by fear. So if you have too many fears, you’re not going to go anywhere.

I don’t think a man’s virility is measured by inches.

I used to own a recording studio for a short while. It was fun doing the things you wanted to do like recording a band. But then to sustain a studio, you need to do other work like jingles. When you just want to record an album you’re not going to survive.

I never really left the music industry. I gave a band the name Taliband and its lead singer Jihad Jones.

Clarke Quay was more real and charming once. It was good for what it was. Now, everybody comes here to party and it’s futuristic, a bit more plastic than before.

I’m not a real businessman. I don’t have a business plan. I do things out of passion. This is what I want to do and I just do it. It’s not like I look up to somebody and do research, I never did things like that.

I won’t say I’m a mentor. If a guy takes me as a mentor, he’s going to fail.

Absinthe is the drink. One shot can make you level up instantly. Trust me, in 5 minutes, you’re on another level.

I watched live pole dancing for the first time in Bangkok, but that wasn’t real pole dancing. You got the girl just hanging there, not like in the States where they do acrobatic acts.

Psychedelia is in between real and unreal. It’s like getting super drunk and everything is warped.

I never thought of having a band. I like music but I’m not a musician.

I wouldn’t say that just because you’re listening to something else, you have good taste.

Sometimes I would rather go for a plate of mee rebus than caviar. Street food is my kind of food. I like it more than in fine dining restaurants.

I don’t specifically pay attention to compliments; it doesn’t really register in my mind.

The worst thing someone called me was a wanker. I don’t remember why, I’m drunk most of the time.

I don’t think there’s anything good about getting older. The drive and fire in you doesn’t burn as bright as when you were younger. You can’t do something to fuel the fire.

Good sex has nothing to do with love or length. The partner you’re with makes good sex. If you get the right partner, you are set.

I’m like a just-do-it kind of guy. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, walk away.
