Time puts things in proper perspective.

I always loved movies, but I never thought I would presume to be a screenwriter and definitely not a director.

Great music is its own movie, already. And the challenge, as a music fan, is to keep the song as powerful as it wants to be, to not tamper with it and to somehow give it a home.

I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me.

I always loved song writers who wrote songs in the first person, so it's kind of like that.

The power of music is still with me, every day. It's one of the most inspiring things available in the world. I write with music. I write scenes in movies that hopefully can earn the use of some songs that are powerful to me. But, I think it just came from being affected by strong, personal art.

And I liked that whole idea that energy comes from not disseminating your ideas and talking about them.
