My father lived by the philosophy, 'Be yourself, because everyone else is taken,' and he made sure I did, too. Whatever I wanted to do, he supported me. I don't mean that I was spoilt - he didn't believe in material gifts - but he watched my back while I worked to achieve things.

I don't have a problem with my temper.

The Radiohead record, 'The Bends' is my all-time favorite record on the planet.

Aerosmith's 'Rocks' is on the list of my top favorite albums of all time.

I am such a gearhead. In my recording studio, I personally engineer and edit everything on computers.

There's Tommy, Tommy Lee the rock star, and Tommy the dad. I'm wearing several hats these days.

I think that when I did the Methods Of Mayhem record, some of the hip-hop stuff probably freaked a lot of Motley Crue fans out.
