But when you're beginning, you should try to focus on something you love and your own way of doing things.

I think being eclectic is bad when you're just starting out.

I see myself as the buffer between the band and the record company.

Normally when I work with bands I'm trying to refine and improve what's already there.

I think we could have done a lot more great music, so I was disappointed that we didn't continue making records and touring, but it's hard to argue with 10 good years.

My other advice is to start writing songs and singing right away.
