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

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.

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

When the systems we expect to help us actually hurt us, we have tragedy.

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.

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

I don't generally find myself listening to the music of a film unless there's something awfully wrong with it.
