I think the thing that music can do is be unsettling. It is abnormal - music that's perceived to be different in an unresolved or unusual way.

If I were doing five cop shows, I'd probably start struggling to find an identity for each one and struggling to find inspirations.

With television you are producing hours and hours of music and for film it is a shorter experience for both the audience and for you as a composer.

Sometimes I find bringing in my old ideas is just detrimental.

Tension, especially with regard to horror, is a very difficult thing to sustain in the big sense.

I'm not a good enough musician to like completely master something in a couple of days and turn it around.

I have been very fortunate in that I'm not doing all network shows or all cable shows, television has really become a year-round process in the way that it's made.
