All Of The Music Works

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.

After 12 Intense Years Of Rock Music, I Was Happy To Get Away From Making A Record And Going Out On A Tour. When I Did It, I Wanted To Feel Inspired. After A While I Finally Had My Fill Working On Other People's Music, And I Started Coming Up With Music On My Own And Said, 'this Could Be For Me.

When I Lived In New York, There Wasn't As Much Tv Or Film Around. I Got Asked To Do A Couple Of Indie Films, Just Based On Me Being From The Smashing Pumpkins And A Perfect Circle. I Did A Couple Of Indie Movies From Japan And One From Canada, And I Thought It Was An Exciting, Fun Thing To Do. I Had A Great Time Doing It, It Was Just That, In New York, There Really Wasn't As Much. My Studio In New York Closed, So I Moved Out To L.a. And Just Started Looking Into Composing As Another Thing To Do, As A Musician. I Like It A Lot. It's Fun And It's A Different Way Of Thinking About Music.

Musicians Always Come Off Sounding A Little Bit Pretentious, And A Little Bit... I Don't Know, Hypocritical, From What They Do, Talking About Strong Issues.
