If not bliss, ignorance can at least be fun.

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

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

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

I just love the sheer mess of New York.

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

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