If the choice is between doing something supercool and having no one hear it and doing something equally cool and tricking people into putting it on the radio, I don't think the second option is some big sellout.

My music was never considered cool, but I've always felt that connection with the audience.

I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing, very cool.

So you got the cool New Yorkers, and then there are the less-than-cool New Yorkers.

I mean the cool thing about the movies is that you get to try on these different personalities and different styles.
