I've always wanted to push myself and move with the tide. That's just how I am and it's worked for me.

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

Sometimes, you know, bad is good.

I like to be able to present myself in two or three different ways because I've never really wanted to rest on my laurels and be something that people expected.

I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn't really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.
