I've grown up around cinema. Michael Kamen was a very, very close friend of mine, sort of my godfather. So I know how much work goes into it. You have to know what you're doing.

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.

Websites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there, but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized.

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

I'm a huge Wu-Tang fan.

Someone recently played me 'Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell' by Das Racist. That should be my theme song.

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.
