If not bliss, ignorance can at least be fun.

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

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

I just love the sheer mess of New York.

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

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'm one of those people who is actually inspired by a deadline. I might not sleep for many days on end, it may not be good for my health, but it definitely helps.
