I turned down a lot of films.

I got fed up with being in bands. I spent a couple of years touring the country in a smoked filled band, doing lots of drugs and being really unhealthy.

Since the big band started I'm just always swamped with movies and things. It certainly pays the bills and it's very satisfying, because I get to write all these big charts and all this crazy music.

I've been part of five different bands in my time.

Yeah, I've played a lot of instruments, and I played in a lot of bands growing up, and I've even had to play music in a lot of films that I've done.

I was in two very horrible bands.

There were no good bands in my town. You know, there's like this magic town where every kid started a band in high school, and half of them were good and have careers based on relationships built at that time? That wasn't what my life was like at all.

I turned down the opportunity to be in some films that went on to be blockbusters.

It's a bummer sometimes but I always believe that great bands and great music always prevail.

I'm not into bands for the sake of being into bands. I've grown past that. There was a time in my life when I was that guy.
