I can't even begin to describe how I miss him. He always supported me in everything I did. He was a very wise man and I realised at an early age I could learn a lot from him. He always gave me the right answer. But above all he was a very easy-going guy and all he wanted was to be my best friend. I'm an only child and so he shared everything with me. Of course he was very young to die and I was very young to lose a father. But there was nothing left unsaid between us.

I was recording stuff with my dad when I was like five, six years old. I played with him on tour. I'd gone with him to Japan in '91, played some gigs, did a couple shows at the Albert Hall.

I don't ever use my name for anything in terms of getting the music heard.

Being in L.A. is great because there are so many weird people out there, so you can just blend in. I like that.

I did rebel. I was the rebel in my family, because my dad wanted me to go and just travel with him.

People see my face, they hear my voice, and I know they're thinking about my father. That's OK - he was a great man.

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.
