Fear of death has never played a large part in my consciousness - perhaps unimaginative of me.

I was fantasising about my own death I started thinking what my funeral would be like and what music would be played I was at that level of insanity.

My folks have played everything from rock disco pop funk and blues. My dad has always brought and played different genres like jazz classical and Latin. With all this in my pocket I feel I have a taste of everything for my influences.

Well my dad was a pretty good player at one stage and my two older brothers played golf as well. So there were always golf clubs flying around the house.

My dad didn't want me to play guitar. He played piano so I chose that. And I ended up loving it.

My dad was a musician. He was a singer and he played the guitar so music was always around.

I was recording stuff with my dad when I was like five six years old. I played with him on tour. I'd gone with him to Japan in '91 played some gigs did a couple shows at the Albert Hall.

Our last jam session was this past Christmas. Dad played his harmonica mom sang in English and Italian and I played guitar. I'm so happy that we could share that musical experience for one last time.

My mom and dad played this music all the time when I was growing up so to me songs by Jerry Lee and Fats Domino are the classics they're the best songs ever.

My dad and I played music. He teaches me a song or two every time I'm home.

When I was 7 my dad asked his friend to teach me. I played my first tournament competition when I was 8. I remember I shot around 125.

I grew up with baseball I played in Little League and went to games with my dad. But I as I grew up became more of a basketball fanatic than a baseball one.

I was into all kinds of music as a teen - country music because my dad was in a band that played country and whatever my sister and brother were into.

I sort of always had an inkling towards some kind of an art form. I grew up in a very small town and I just figure-skated. My dad played hockey and I was surrounded by sports but it wasn't quite doing it for me. I wasn't totally fulfilled and I did a lot of skating.

My dad was the district attorney of New Orleans for about 30 years. And when he opened his campaign headquarters back in the early '70s when I was 5 years old my mother wanted me to play the national anthem. And they got an upright piano on the back of a flatbed truck and I played it.

I don't really know any other musicians like me. I grew up backstage with my dad who played in a post-war dance band so I always feel at home at a venue.

My dad played fiddle as well.

I'd love to pop back into 'Being Human' as Adam. I love the character so much. I've never really played a character like that. I'm always playing the geek so to play a kid who is very energetic when he wants to be and who is always trying to get the girls was really cool.

Two weeks later we played our first concert and had 100 people there. It was pretty cool.

My role in 'Legally Blonde' was really rewarding because I had so much fun working on the movie. I've had really rewarding experiences on tiny low budget films that you'll never see but where I had a cool time creating characters as well. I love almost all of the characters I've played.

They used to say it was bad for Indians to drink but it's bad for anybody. When they drink they lose their cool a lot of us. Like when we played with Sonny Boy I would never get paid you know. He would drink up all the money.

I like being out front doing what I do but then I also like playing in a band too. I'd like to do stuff like I did with Deee-lite. I went out and played with them and they were the stars that was cool.

Well we played with Soul Coughing once for like two days that was pretty cool. I mean they were all good you can pull a great experience from everything.

I was trying to break out of the suburbs and when I did break out I don't think I took my whole self with me - I think I played a role of being too cool and hip.
