I have always loved Scottish music - all sorts of Celtic, Gaelic music.

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

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

I like the fact that New York looks a bit backwards, toward the Old World, rather than resolutely forwards.

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

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.

Carefully execute every instruction given to you by the director, producer, and studio. But that would be a life not worth living.
