Talk about a struggling artist having to work against enormous odds ... But I love movies so much, so I'm going to do it.

I do enjoy my solo time ... I want to stay home and do soundtracks and watch TV in my underwear with a keyboard on my lap and just be a couch potato.

I get to live down my reputation for being cantankerous if I slowly evolve towards being a really good live show.

The world is full of bands and bullshit, and if I'm doing a stupid art project like rock 'n' roll then I want to spare my audience as much as possible.

During those formative times, I really didn't know what was going on, and I was sort of torn in a thousand different directions with how I felt about what I was doing.

When making a record, I could done a new face pretty easily and use all these different devices to hide who I am - or who I was - which really had very little to do with what I was trying to convey.

There's always room for improvement. I'm always focused on the results, and those are the precise things that I don't really experience as a part of the performance.
