I don't personally see my work as being dark. What interests me is a balance between light and dark.

I prefer a life in which we don't take ourselves too seriously.

Learning how to improvise really awakened my interest in music.

John Barry was the first film composer I was aware of. As a teenager I owned several of his Bond soundtracks.

I like business and personal life to be distinct.

Connection is what one is after in probably most media, but certainly in film, which is an immersive medium.

I almost never try to make the audience comfortable. I wouldn't want that if I were in the audience.
