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.

The jarring change going from an urban environment to an extremely remote natural environment is extremely inspiring. It's constantly stimulating, it's like a slap in the face.

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

How does my music connect to an audience? That is just a complete mystery to me.

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

Los Angeles is an industry town, and it has great facilities and personnel. The disadvantage is that everyone there seems to talk about the same subject matter.

Music is the subliminal connecting adhesive in film, or at least in narrative feature films.
