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.

Once I started to get older, my father would say, 'You look more like George Harrison than I do'

In almost any profession, even if you're the kid of an actor, people are very supportive and want to see the next generation.

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.

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

When my dad toured in '91, I think my first gig properly was the Tokyo Dome, 50,000 people indoors. That was pretty scary. I was 12, or 13.

'Keep your head down at school.' Those are sage words from my dad. They kept me in check for years.
