Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.

My songs aren't built around choruses or hooks or anything like that. That's kind of how I write screenplays too.

LA has its own vibe. It has a charm that a lot of people overlook sometimes.

To tell you the truth, I don't ever talk about characters as separate from myself.

We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.

I generally have lyrics first, but you can't help that when you're writing lyrics you start to get a melody in your head. So they come kind of simultaneously.

Usually with film writing I start with characters, and set about writing their story.
