stars dad want
I don't really plan to be a pop star; I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.

My dad was my hero, my best friend.
couple dad japan
I was recording stuff with my dad when I was like five, six years old. I played with him on tour. I'd gone with him to Japan in '91, played some gigs, did a couple shows at the Albert Hall.
thinking hype buying
I think I learned a lot about not buying into a lot of hype. I wanted to be a kind of faceless entity; I didn't want to be Dhani Harrison and the Muppets or something like that.
father looks
Once I started to get older, my father would say, 'You look more like George Harrison than I do'
dad rebel my-family
I did rebel. I was the rebel in my family, because my dad wanted me to go and just travel with him.
dad iron saws
I never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.
play people four
I could never just play in a pub in front of four people because I would have had all the press turn up. That way, you don't get to build up naturally. It makes the work feel unnatural, and puts a lot of unnatural pressure on you.
lying dubstep inspired
Live a Lie' is inspired by recent combinations found in dubstep.
band want able
It was a relief to be able to do my own band, because I was very responsible for all this amazing music I didn't want to mess up before.
cinema close-friends knows
I've grown up around cinema. Michael Kamen was a very, very close friend of mine, sort of my godfather. So I know how much work goes into it. You have to know what you're doing.
apples iphone design
If you were the first person ever to design an application for the iPhone and you patented it, you would be very, very better off than we are right now, you know? But you've got to be the first one to do it. So I figured that Led Zeppelin or the Stones were going to do it unless we just got on to it. So I got cracking with the guys from Apple.
web-content design useless
Websites are kind of useless. There's so much great web content and design out there, but the ways in which they are being experienced are not being maximized.
play people gigs
To come out in the music business, you only really get one shot. A lot of people get to play small gigs first, and build up that way, without anyone really seeing them.
