Personal life

Moretti was born on June 2, 1980 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to an Italian father and a Brazilian mother.[1] He was raised Christian, but has stated that he is an atheist[citation needed]. He and his family moved to New York City when he was 3 years old, and as a teenager there he attended the Dwight School with fellow band members Nick Valensi and Julian Casablancas.

Moretti dated Drew Barrymore from April 2002 until January 2007, after they met backstage during a Strokes concert. Rumors of engagement arose several times, but the wedding never happened. In an interview, Moretti once stated that he believes "marriage is not anything that will secure the future of your relationship,”[cite this quote] and therefore plans to never get married[citation needed]. He is currently dating fellow musician Binki Shapiro.[2]

Moretti is also an enthusiastic artist; he has multiple examples of his artworks at The Strokes' website, including a portrait of fellow bandmate Nick Valensi.

Moretti is now working on a solo project during The Strokes' break called Little Joy.[3]

Quotes

"It's so easy for people to jump to the wrong conclusions when they've only heard one three song EP. While we are really appreciative of some of the comparisons we have been given, it is not the full picture. Hopefully when the album comes out people will realise it isn't just some New York thing and that it is a lot more universal than that."

"I love music, but it is songs and bands and albums that excite me rather than a specific drummer's style."[cite this quote]

"I love all kinds of girls, especially if they're blonde, have a big booty and are full of money."
