Madisyn [Shipman] was great. She’s a really talented kid. We got along great. It was fun, in between scenes, I’d pull out my iPod and show her different old rock ‘n’ roll and punk stuff, and she was really into it.
I threw a big-ass party. It turned out a bit different from Perry’s [in That’s Ordinary World], but it was pretty nuts. It wasn’t me that threw it though, my wife threw me a surprise party. So [unlike Selma Blair’s character] she didn’t forget.
I was on drugs when I wrote some of my songs. It was a rough time for me, but I’m lucky enough to be one of the people who learned from that experience and moved on, where other people just got addicted and more addicted and more addicted until it killed them.
It’s okay to grow up, it’s just slowing down that’s the scary part. Running out of time. It’s okay to grow up, but it doesn’t mean you have to become like your parents.
When I was done with the movie [Ordinary World], I felt really compelled to start working on another album. Little did I know, they were going to come out back to back.
