For me to do a project - I have a pretty successful solo career, so - for me to even want to do Primus, it had to be a creative step forward.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's always hard to put your finger on what it is that makes Primus Primus.
I was way into Primus in high school so hanging out with him was a thrill.
My music has always been my solo project.
Most of my act is improvisation. I'm inspired for the moment. Standing there in front of 2,000 or 3,000 people you don't know can be pretty inspiring.
I only get involved with projects as a producer if I feel creatively inspired.
Now my main goal is my solo career, so I want to keep doing that.
My goal was, and still is, to write first, direct my own stuff whenever possible and control my own creative destiny.
I'm particular about the projects that I've chosen. Each one of them, I've taken a step up, like climbing a ladder. Before, it was baby-steps, up to 'Riddick.' Then I took this huge leap onto 'Guardians!' It was such a higher level, this huge project which originally I never thought I'd have a chance in hell of getting.
I want to direct one day. I want to write my own thing and really be behind the scenes because you have more creative control.
The way I look at a solo project is, I create what I want with whoever I want.
