What's the best video you've seen lately?
That Muse cowboy video [for "Knights of Cydonia"] is really, really, really good. The new Weezer video is clever. One of the videos we're actually going to premiere on the show -- Snoop Dogg's new country video -- is pretty much insane.

Which of your own music videos has been your favorite to film?
Probably the one for "Sixteen Candles," the vampire video because we got to do wireworks. I did one month of martial arts training. It was all night shots, so we worked from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Videos usually actually happen on the exact opposite schedule, and it's really, really hard to get up at like 4 or 5 a.m. to do a video and know you're going to be shooting for like 16 hours, which is how most videos are shot. I don't think most people really realize that.
