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?

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.
I don't really plan to be a pop star I just want to be able to make music without the whole My Dad thing hanging over me, which everyone in my position goes through.
I never really saw my dad around when the Iron Maiden and the AC/DC were playing. But he knew what I was doing. I was just absorbing music. So he just kind of left me to my own devices.
