I would like to do a science fiction film some day. Star Wars seems really to have destroyed the genre, which at one time offered great musical opportunities.

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

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

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.

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

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