Any film which views the darker side of life, which is death with a sense of humor, is very much to my taste.

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

In mainstream romantic comedies, I'm usually tearing my hair out. It's just a devastatingly difficult genre for me.

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.

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

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

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.
