Music is a language of emotion. I'm passionate about it because I think it's the most direct way to connect to the things that are ineffable. Words just aren't necessary a good enough opportunity to express. Words are maybe less than accessible at expressing.

Ethical systems and practices need to look good. They have to be desirable, well-designed and work well.

I can play a lot of things, but I haven't mastered any one. I use music really as a form of raw expression; escape from the real world.

In narrative films, you set up reality, so you can limit the variables. You don't have that luxury with docs.

My wish list is pretty short. I wish that we had empathy. As a society, we are so wrapped up in our own artificial creations that we have become disconnected from one another and the wonder of our natural world. I truly believe that empathy is the key to solving the majority of our environmental and social problems.

You ask any actor - they'll tell you they'd rather shoot on location because you don't have to invent the energy, the energy is there.
