Jack Antonoff

People identify with other people for different reasons, and I personally am really comfortable around lesbians because, in some ways, we view women the same way.

Everyone has something that they carry always, even if it's just as simple as, 'I hate myself.' Everyone's got a different thing.

So many boys and girls talk the same way, listen to the same music, look the same. If I'm out, I'll notice the person who looks different before I notice the person who's, 'really hot.'

I've gone down to the Jersey Shore every summer since I was born. It's like a second home, and Asbury Park is like the capital - it's the center of all of it. Musically, it's incredible.

I've noticed that a lot of people in film always seem interested in music videos, like it's some, like, really exciting thing they've always wanted to do or something.

It's pretty easy to tell who's garbage and who's not right away, and most people suck, to be honest, or they're just really wrapped up in what's going on with themselves.

I think men are, like, repulsive, and I prefer being in a room with women. I think they're often just more interesting.

I have no problem being mainstream. I grew up in the '90s when the mainstream was amazing.

All of the guys I know from Jersey held onto this feeling of, 'We're always just working.'

I remember immediately - immediately - feeling like, 'I don't want to play 'We Are Young' when I'm 35. I don't want to be defined by this.'

I grew up on Raffi. That was my first impression of what a rock star was.

Stepping away from Fun. was both exciting and terrifying.
