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

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.

I suddenly realized that in order to do what I wanted to do, I had to become that which I hated - which is the head of a record company or a digital media conglomerate - and just do whatever you want.

My job description is... being enthusiastic.

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

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

If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple.
