Mostly, I don't write overtly personal stuff.

I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth.

For me, the biggest thing was just getting all the wows out of the way, and that was mostly stuff like the new cities and stadiums and facing a certain great pitcher here or there, ... Better to do it now than next year. We want to be winning right off the bat.

I'm pretty proud of my film music in general.

I like Public Enemy a great deal.

I always thought my best album was 'Trouble in Paradise.' I was the happiest with that one.
