POISON frontman Bret Michaels recently spoke with ARTISTDirect News correspondent Rick Florino about his cameo appearance in the new American Pie film, American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, and acting in general. An excerpt is available below.

Q: Do you feel like the American Pie franchise is pretty "rock 'n' roll?"

Michaels: "Very rock 'n' roll…we're talking from the beginning on through to Book of Love. Obviously with having Rock of Love and then Book of Love, I say this openly, my acting skills are limited [Laughs]. My reality skills aren't too bad. Throw me in a reality situation and I'm okay, but acting is another story [Laughs]. Everyone was really good about it though. They were like, 'We'll do this in one big take. Have fun, be who you are and be funny.' I said, 'Okay, you got it!' The franchise itself is completely rock 'n' roll to me! It's very young, hip and off-the-wall, but it's very funny. That sense of humor is what makes it great. I think this is going to be fantastic."

Q: It seems like the Book of Love could've been written be you or any of your musical contemporaries.

Michaels: "[Laughs] Yes! I think we could add some additional chapters. We've written a few books of love ourselves and adding some additional chapters wouldn't be a stretch. I was laughing at the part in the movie about peanut butter. It's kind of a win-win for me. It's delicious, healthy and sexual, so you can't lose with peanut butter [Laughs]. I don't think you can catch anything that I've heard of from it either [Laughs]."
