TV series, there's a lot of everybody talking to you and giving you input for the first couple episodes, and then they're on such a crazy schedule that you get another episode on a Monday, you have to have it done by Friday and it becomes very solitary work usually, TV shows.

If you get rid of a lot of the poseurs by destroying record companies, maybe it's a good trade-off.

I've worked with a lot of directors, some of them you wouldn't really attach the word 'artist' to their name.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

Right now I just finished writing the music for a Rugrats feature film and the third week of September I go to London, and the Orchestra is going to perform the score.

Before MTV, if you put out an album that sold 50,000 copies, your band could afford not to have day jobs for a while. That meant you could stick around, put out another album or two. Maybe it would be the second or third album where you'd make the statement you'd been trying to make all along.

I really appreciate anyone trying to inject art into mainstream film.
