I've done lots of songs for film soundtracks and things like that - stuff I'm not ashamed of, but that doesn't represent my legacy with the Pretenders.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
But, yes, now I wouldn't do some of those soundtracks the way I did them.
I've been doing a lot of music for films and television for quite a few years.
Music is a hobby, because I'm not making any money out of it, but I put just as much conviction into that as I do into my acting.
I've done some music for films and I really enjoy doing it.
I have no shame in making music that maybe, if you listen to it long enough, you'll realize you've heard this or that part of it before. I'm still very excited by an amazingly written song, so that's really the thing that I work on when I make records with people.
If I did all the stuff I've been accused of - or credited with - there's no way I could make all this music. I'd be drinking myself into the grave.
I've always made music that was representative of real life.
The first two projects I did out of my dorm room were mock film soundtracks.
I always loved music, and I always wanted to make a film about it, but I could never do it because of the censorship that was around.
That pesky acting career has always gotten in the way of me doing something with music.
