I am affected by what is around. I don't think many people would admit that.

As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it.

Live are a really good band. I like Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead I love. Even Oasis.

My current project is my band, Population 1. We are writing, rehearsing and playing in Los Angeles.

I definitely get affected by new stuff. There's a lot of older influences, but there's also newer stuff too.

Who needs fan mail when you have the Internet?

If you play music for no other reason than actually just because you love it, the skills just kinda creep up on you.
