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

John Barry was my hero when I was about 13. His scores to the James Bond movies were the scores of my life back then.

I just love the sheer mess of New York.

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

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

I almost never try to make the audience comfortable. I wouldn't want that if I were in the audience.

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