Even from a listening end now, I'm still completely a fan of music.

I live most of the time in New York now. I have an apartment there.

All the bands I've played with have had dynamic front men.

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.

There is a lot of work just in terms of traveling and logistics and people and gear and all that kind of stuff. But I never really have problems playing music. That never seems like work.

So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience.

Yeah, I'm sure there are stereotypes of Asian people.
