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

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

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

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 think guitar-wise, Eric Clapton was a big influence on me. I got to spend time around him. He's kind of strange, mysterious, serious and he always has played such hot guitar.

I did the first backwards guitar solo on ‘I’m Only Sleeping’

To come out in the music business, you only really get one shot. A lot of people get to play small gigs first, and build up that way, without anyone really seeing them.
