One interviewer asked me: 'How do you feel that you've betrayed your father?' That wasn't really very cool.

I was an only child. I hung out with my parents.

Im still getting used to being called a composer. A poseur, maybe.

Playing music has always felt very natural. You know, you do try to do other things, and you do learn lessons that way, but, eventually - well... if your dad is a plumber, you become a plumber. It's the family business, and I felt like I was taking over the family business.

It was a relief to be able to do my own band, because I was very responsible for all this amazing music I didn't want to mess up before.

I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue.

I sometimes listen to music I made and find it to be something I wouldn't want to buy from a store, if there was a store. When it's like that, you have to make what you want to hear.
