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

I think I've only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.

If someone suddenly lost their director the day before shooting and wanted me to step in, I'd be willing to. But I'd do brain surgery the same way. I'm always up for something new.

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

All my music is very simple in that melody is usually clearly stated.

I would like to do a science fiction film some day. Star Wars seems really to have destroyed the genre, which at one time offered great musical opportunities.
