I had plenty of vices growing up.

I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go.

The philosophy of Buddhism is connected to everything. So it probably does have some connection with acting, yes.

The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies, and um, and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue, because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?

As an artist, I never want to be a moment. I want to be a legacy, and I want my music to touch people for years to come.

I consider myself very fortunate indeed to have created a character which has captured the imagination and enthusiasm of so many children worldwide. They are my family, and Spot belongs to them all.

Action set pieces are my absolute favorite thing to write. I'm pretty much always in the mood to do them, but music certainly helps the process. I usually brainstorm out the dynamics and choreography of a fight to music beforehand - it gives me the little sparks of imagination when I get to the gaps in my own creativity.

I always say I want creative control. A lot of people don't think about that. And that's what every artist should think of - being creative and not just a puppet.
