I like challenges and I definitely would like to be more of a chameleon.

I'm kind of an antisocial person. I realised when I was playing in bands that I wasn't that comfortable being on-stage, and I preferred to be behind-the-scenes. I like the seclusion of composing.

If you want to survive in the film industry, it's not about fighting for your visions because that's a given. It's thinking about how much is your vision going to cost, and then, what are the consequences, because you may have $100 million, but the reality is that $100 million needs to make $500 million to be a success.

I work at home but average 15,000 to 18,000 miles per year on my Honda.

I don't like to write any music to a script. Experience has taught me that's generally a waste of time.

I was in the Chilli Peppers at the time and I asked myself, would I be able to wear a sock on my genitals at the age of forty and they proved me wrong because I guess they're still doing it.

Censorship has kind of disappeared in a way because everything is accessible online.
