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'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.

Everyone's seen the Beatles.

The music I want to hear in my head sounds somewhere between Jimi Hendrix and Massive Attack. It's not really like my dad, but there will always be similarities because we have the same vocal cords, and I learnt the guitar the way he taught me.

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 never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.

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