We started playing music from an early age and so we wasn't really aware of that side of it, the weird thing is the more successful you get the more free booze and drugs you get, they should be given to the bands who don't have the money.
It's the same with visual arts, you have some really cool, wonderful striking images that make you think and then again you have wonderful striking images that just take you away from the existing world for a second. And I like the latter a bit more.
I hate it when bands do that; they're so proud of their new album, they have to play all of it and a couple of golden oldies.
Los Angeles and New York are the big centers of the music industry worldwide so of course it can be hard for newcomers who don't know what to expect from the music business.
I'm a collecting maniac and I buy a lot of books and records. I have over thousand cds.
I'm a huge fan of James Dean, that got me started. Nowadays I smoke four packs in a day.
