Ben Lee Talks Fatherhood, Therapy and Comedic Timing on The Interface
Joseph Llanes for AOL
Several months later, we invited the soft-spoken 33-year-old into our Los Angeles studio to perform songs from the album for an Interface taping. Afterward, we sat down with him to talk about his impact on the world, shooting comedy videos with wife Ione Skye and Margaret Cho, and how fatherhood and the death of his therapist have influenced his career.
Last time we spoke, you were just finishing up your album. What's happened since March?
I finished the record, took my baby to India for her first time, worked on a lot of other music and sort of put the record out of my head. I mean, now that it's coming out I'm starting to think about it again. When you're making it, you're so consumed with it and then it's best to just let it be for a little while, so I'm just sort of reconsidering it again now.
