I think being a little nuts is helpful.

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

Learning how to improvise really awakened my interest in music.

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

There is not much irony when people are being happy on screen.

I just love the sheer mess of New York.

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