The moment I began to understand what was going on with the treatment of animals, it led me more and more in the way of the path I am [on] now, which is a complete vegan.

I'm not afraid of being thought of as someone who is associated with film music. Why not? If it's a good song, what does it matter?

I swear, I wanna be your underwear.

I remember being in Hollywood at the age of 16 and marveling at the stars. The idea of being part of it never entered my mind. It was too far-fetched.

If your music is great, you will have fans, not because you have spent time chatting on social media.

I only write music for myself, I don't try and appeal to anyone else.

Very sad to hear about the passing of Nelson Mandela. He was a true inspiration for human rights and equality for South Africa and the reason apartheid no longer exists there. The world will never forget his capacity for forgiveness and magnanimity. RIP
