I like soundtracks and I like film.

There's always the influence of music, film, art and the other things that drive me. I'm usually inspired by my environment and whatever is making me happy or mad.

I'm not a geek about equipment, I just know what I like.

I've done lots of songs for film soundtracks and things like that - stuff I'm not ashamed of, but that doesn't represent my legacy with the Pretenders.

I think people like Steve Vai are so boring.

If I play anything that sounds like a solo, it's gonna sound like a lyric.
