I was very fortunate to be at the vanguard of music video.

Certainly with the radio now, a lot of late 20s, 30s and 40-year-olds don't listen to that music. There's nothing in it for them... [but] my son can't get enough of it because it's speaking to him and not to us... .A lot of the music that we hear now starts to sound the same.

I'm thought of as very light 'pop-y' kind of music, but it all had very dark undercurrents and I was a very messed up person... there's a lot of double entendre stuff in it.

I think the new adventurous music is for the kids in a state of flux - they're open to all that - and in 10, 15, 20 years it will be their golden era, and they'll be playing Korn and getting nostalgic.

Puberty hit me very hard, and I basically had no use for school once I discovered the guitar.

Every actor wants to break out of the box that they put you in and that's where I'm heading, out of the box as fast as I can.
