WHY DOES HE HAVE TO BE SO COOL

It's so cute how proud he looks when he says my mother was Miss Denmark. He has the greatest smile, I melt every-time I see it.

The feeling that he mentions is the feeling that I get for everyone of their songs. Sometimes it takes a few listens to get it, but it always comes. Man, is it the best whenever it does though. The Strokes are so fucking amazing and I can't even begin to comprehend it. I'm happy that that was their goal because they certainly have achieved it!

Shit I can't stop myself from smiling when he smiles

wow..when you realize that he is only 22 years old here..it blows your mind! he's handling the interview so well... I think it's because the media really took swipes at the Strokes over the years..and later on he became very careful with his answers..and also a little jaded (you can't blame him.) but I LUV seeing him so happy here! It's like the interviews he did around the time of his solo tour - real happy and relaxed.

5:40 "my mom is the sweetest person in the world" aaawww I love him so much!!! he's so perfect! his smile :')

He has such an amazing charm

It’s that feeling when you hear your favorite song… that feeling whether you’re in a car or a party or alone at home in bed, and you hear the song and it hits you so strong… that’s sort of my favorite thing about music- Julian Casablancas OMG this is one of my favorite interviews!!!!

"It's not like we have a political message or anything like that." And then he made Tyranny

This is probably before he became jaded with the music business, he still had a lot of hope about it. It's beautiful to see him so genuinely optimistic...

When he said about that feeling when music hits u I get that when I listen to the strokes

You can tell this is when shit started taking off. The happiness on his face and tone of his voice is of a man whose dreams were coming true

I met Julian when he was 4 yrs old, I worked for his dads modeling agency Elite. I remember how much his dad talked about his son and how much he loved him:-)

I would listen his voice all the day, over and over again :)

His SMILE. His FUCKIN SMILE

Here at 1:25 am. Amazed because Jules has changed so much. Now he write lyrics about politics and now he is an icon of rock music. Jules born to shine.

when he talks about that feeling you get when you listen to amazing songs, i smiled cause i get that feeling with every strokes song and that's how i knew they were the best. that's my favorite thing about music too.

regarding what he wanted to accomplish with his music,you did it man. you fucking did it.

This is an amazing interview considering that Jules does not like to talk a lot in them... the interviewer seemed to have some troubles making up the questions (maybe he did not speak english) but Julian was so patient and considerate, he answered all the questions and even tried to help the interviewer through them. I really like it!

"we dont have a political message or anything" 12 years later he creates the Voidz

I’d give anything to be in Copenhagen, going to a Strokes concert in the early 2000’s.

I've never seen him chat so much before in an interview :)

julian casablancas is the most beautiful man in the universe

When he talks about what he aims to achieve when he creates music how he wants it to catch attention and that brilliant feeling that gets inside you. thats what I feel like when I listen to their songs. Julian your mission is acomplished you made me feel like that ! Thank you

i like how he decided to kill the awkward silence with an awkward comment.

What he says about cultural differences between NYC and Denmark is so insightful. It makes a lot of sense, and it's pretty impressive considering he's probably buzzed

He mentioned that The Strokes aim was to make music that hits you hard and gets to you. Well they've very well succeeded and so has Julian Casablancas on his solo album. :)

He seems so happy in this video... I like that..he's smiling genuinely and everything. Very different from most of his interviews. :)

Sharp af. I just realized he was probably younger in that video than I am now. Wow...

I could listen to this man talk all day.

Maaaan I would have a 2001 Julian Casablancas talk Danish to me any day

musical genius. i never like a band quite as much as i like the strokes.

Mothers a model... Explains where he gets his looks... 😐💕❤️

I love how passionate he is

His NY accent is so subtle that it’s hard to notice, but when it comes out, it’s so gentle sounding 🖤 fuck why do I love him so much??

I honestly agree what he says about how he feels about lyrics. When I listen to the song, its the beat, the vibe, the arrangement that makes me go oh man!

That feeling he's talking about, I get it for almost all their songs. It's a beautiful feeling.

hearing him speak Danish makes me want to learn Danish

I don't think the ones where he's drunk are 'better'. He's more relaxed and less awkward, of course, that's probably why he drank in the first place, but it's in the sober interviews that you can see how he really is and sometimes even catch a glimpse of how his mind works. Watch the Brian Williams interview, for instance, or the amazing podcast he did this year with Har Mar Superstar.

I clicked on this vid for the hot Danish cousin quote but "It's not reallly hard, I mean our ablum hasn't come out yet yk and magazines, they make us seem like stars but you walk in the street and it's not like people are recognizing you. I think once the album comes out and people hear the music, is when I'll be interested in what the reaction is. Right now, I don't care. We put enough pressure on ourselves to keep getting better but I'm not worried about what journalists who are trying to sell magazines are writing." rlly hit hard and Julian is so cute and smiley in this interview

My favorite interview of him. This was him before he let the other members start writing.

An interview before Is This It? came out. Julian you certainly made songs that give me that feeling, my favourite album of all time. Thank you.

this guy is the epitome of rockstar coolness

What a husky voice

It makes me feel good knowing how down to earth this band is, and what they aim for. I CANNOT wait for their next album! =)

As a dane I can say that he is cool as hell! Proud to have (half) the same nationality as Casablancas.

Is it odd for me to get jealous when he mentions hot girls in Copenhagen? Lol

Yeesss. his answer to the idea behind the Strokes. To make listeners feel to connect basically. That's when I know it's good music. When it has so much meaning to me or multiple meanings. Or that can make me cry. Or pull a feeling from me that doesn't usually come out. The Strokes, Voidz, and Julian solo ALWAYS do that for me. 😻🔥🖤💜🖤💜🖤🔥😻

Julian you got what you wanted, cause every time I hear a song from The Strokes, I can't get a smile from my face and it's some special feeling... So yeah... You made it

"yeah, are you male or female?"

hes so cute like omg

"You want me to pick a cucumber out of the backyard"? Oh Julian, always so helpful..

Imagine hearing his voice and everything when he calls you on the phone wishing you a goodnight hehe

Great interview with Julian!

wow I never heard him talk this much, the strokes are the best

His laugh is LIFE!!(:

What he thinks about his music is right what it makes me feel. The Strokes are a whole thing, not something in pieces each of them is absolutely necesary or else they aren't the Strokes. I like them all.

Drinking game: Take a shot of Vodka after everytime Julian says "like".

the bit where he is talking about his mam, aaaaaaaaaaw :) i love this interview, julian seems really nice and makes the most incredible music. plus he is bloody gorgeous ahaha.

he was much more eloquent in his young days

I respect and love this man. He comes from a pure place, and I totally agree with what he says about the feeling of music.

he is so nice, it's a pleasure to see him confortable in a interview :)

this interview was from 2001, he must have only been 23 then.

i feel an urge to shove my head into a blender now (in a good way)

Compare him in this interview he had the same age of Justin Bieber, and look how deep and the way he talk compared to Bieber, holy shit.

That's exactly how I feel when I hear their music. It hits you really deep in the soul. And he's easy on the eyes and ears, very cool personality

It is interesting he says they don't have a political message. But Julien is such a great lyricist that his lyrics are vague enough to be interpreted in different ways. He says in another interview, "I can get greedy with meaning." I am listening to Is This It and a lot of it sounds like societal critique from a first person observation of life in all its different facets including romantic relationships. Not necessarily realizing what is going on just kind of saying what you see and only after realizing, "oh, this is fucked up." "Is This It?" Ya know?

6 years ago. & still f00kin amazing.

Cozy setting... And just feeling groovy, I guess... Intéressante entrevue ; merci !

Handled that interview like a BOSS, especially the hype part..

that feeling he was talking about at 1:28 is exactly what i felt when I first heard heart in a cage, and became a huge fan of the strokes.

every morning on the drive to school i play only stokes songs. and then during school i get this reallly good feeling when i think about the music. like its really cool, i cant explain it. hahaha "hard to explain" but i mean i completely understand what he was saying in this interview about that feeling. i get it.

just imagine him talking dirty... in danish... oh god. *melts* this has to be my favorite of his interviews, hands down.

i love the strokes!!!

i just realised they said ‘agenda’ not ‘gender’

Julian - the best music man i ever know

He always seems so nice & sincere in interviews. Anyone ever met him? Is he this nice in person?

he's so amazing and clever, a real music genius THE STROKES FOREVER !!!!

Automatic Stop really gets stuck in my head.

haha, we all have the same feeling. the strokes music is just like omg! dude,every 24/7 i listen to the strokes. i kept mentioning about them. 2years non stop. fuckin love them~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This interview gives me such joy but an overpowering amount of sorrow as well because in his later interviews, Julian seems absolutely dead inside. The industry really fucks with people sometimes.

same here, all my friends know of them but only like 3 songs and dont get what there music makes you feel. its an awesome thing.

@rottenlove420 Awww, that sounds amazing! I'm glad you got to meet him& I hope he never changes!

what id give to be Julian for a day in 2001. :D

what a beautiful man

they have deff made there goal every song by them gives me that feeling

he seems a bit annoyed in the beginning but he kinda gets into it and is being really really nice to the interviewer,it turns out to be one of the best interviews of him really. nice!

JULIAN'S THE MAN!!!

❤❤❤i loveeeeeeeeeee himmmmmmmm

He is the sweetest hottest man in the world, I love you Jules!!!!

Hermoso Jules (:

Him and The Strokes are so cool

I feel like a baby reading these comments from like 13-7 years ago and I'm like damn i'm that late :(

the way he describes hearing a FAV song and i get that FEELing in a lot of songs they have ,and hte more i listen the more i feel that .. thye are TRUELY making it into my top 10 of all time-- based on that feeling alone and here it is described in that way , and proves where their SOUND comes from... . . feel it "" (!#*_jyb))

explanation of the real feelings in sounds of music..

and like it was like, its like and like... i adore julian

Damn. I mean, i'm a guy and i agree he's hella good looking, but let's talk about something else besides that. xD Julian your voice is pimp dude! My favorite indie rock band

Despues de haber ido a cantar a top of the pops en el 2002... Y despues de haber estado totalmente sobrio en el escenario SOBRIO!!! Y aqui ya se nota que le vuelve a gustar tomar.. jajj.. Que maravilloso saber eso.

He is one special guy :)
