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

I'm kind of conservative. I like to build on what I've done in the past and try something new.

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.

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

I know so few people who actually give music their undivided attention, so I've been trying to just park myself on the couch between the speakers and listen.

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

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.
