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

I like directors that give their composer a juicy role in their films. Some films have a small, minor role for music, some have a larger role.

Pop music is a fashion, and fashions come and go. The public retires you as their tastes change.

The more I come to understand music, the more I feel like a numbskull because there is always more to learn.

I've always been very left of center and the radio never had much diversity and film did.

I think there is quite a continuity over my 25 years of doing music, and I'm always trying to break away from it.

Composers are in some ways the last frontier of musician that gets a paycheck for their musical services.
