I like the challenges of doing different things. It keeps things fresh for me.

I mean I like pop music, and I like heavy music and, stuff that I like... the band I've signed on to our label right now; they're called The Sounds. They're kind of like a new-wave pop band.

It's great working with directors and with somebody else's vision.

We have a partnership deal with New Line Records, which is part of New Line Cinema, and... I worked on that.

I love a lot of the New York bands, but Patti Smith stands out. I just read 'Just Kids' and it's an inspirational, well-written account of an emerging New York artist in the late seventies.

I started a recording studio. I started producing people and doing remixes.

If you put all the songs together that I've written on band records, and put it up next to my solo record, there's definitely a different kind of feel than Billy's songs.
