I write music to please myself. Hopefully the director's enjoying it too.
I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.

A carefree quality is a whole aspect of life that I will never understand. I don't think I have ever been carefree and can't see the pleasure of it.
John Barry was the first film composer I was aware of. As a teenager I owned several of his Bond soundtracks.
