It's Much Easier To Work On Other People's Music And Play In Other People's Bands As A Guitar Player Instead Of Being The Main Songwriter And Singer. That's A Really Big Job To Do That.

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.

Composing Is Just Another Exciting Thing. It's As Exciting As Being In A Band. It's Kind Of Like Joining A New Band For Three Months.

I'd Like To Keep Doing Film And Tv, And I Definitely Can Appreciate A Good Theme Song. If It's Memorable, That's A Great Thing.
