Even with Extreme, I don't think you have a choice but to sort of have somewhat of an influence of the times.

   

Live are a really good band. I like Stone Temple Pilots, Radiohead I love. Even Oasis.

   

I wanted to do the whole album in black and white, and it really killed me that when you see it in the light it's got green in it. I don't know what the hell that was about.

   

It's just a bunch of songs. I'm not trying to cure any major disease.

   

The touring part is really mixed. You love to play and you can't wait to go, but you don't want to leave.

   

As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it.

When you are in this business and this career, it's hard for any one thing to engulf you.

   

I am affected by what is around. I don't think many people would admit that.

I always imagine later on these songs I could've played with a band, but it never worked out that way.

   

There's two facets to writing a song. There's you sitting in your room writing the sentiments of the song; the lyrics, the melody and the changes, and then there's the part where you go into the studio and you put clothing on it.

   

It's hard to know exactly what it sounds like to me. I'm in the studio and I write it. and that's it.

   

My current project is my band, Population 1. We are writing, rehearsing and playing in Los Angeles.

   

I definitely get affected by new stuff. There's a lot of older influences, but there's also newer stuff too.

   

I think I'm a music fan before anything else.

   

Having a baby is one of the most wonderful things in your life, as well as the hardest thing in your life.
