You can' t help being a musician because you've grown up with music, yet being one means being compared to your dad and being slated for it. But I really don't have the ambitions of most people going into the industry.
When my dad toured in '91, I think my first gig properly was the Tokyo Dome, 50, 000 people indoors. That was pretty scary. I was 12, or 13.
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.
'Keep your head down at school.' Those are sage words from my dad. They kept me in check for years.
