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

I write music to please myself. Hopefully the director's enjoying it too.

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

In mainstream romantic comedies, I'm usually tearing my hair out. It's just a devastatingly difficult genre for me.

I dont find myself lobbying for projects. Filmmakers almost always come to me.

I like business and personal life to be distinct.

Hopefully each film can be given a musical voice of its own, which is not to say that the instrumentation is always unique, but that the relationship between the sound and the image is unique.
