The work is the work. The work is not me. I like the anonymity that directors can have about their films. Even though it's my voice, I'm a storyteller.

When you're happy you enjoy the music, but when you're sad you understand the lyrics.

If someone breaks your heart, just punch them in the face. Seriously. Punch them in the face and go get some ice cream.

I know that we sin but I do believe we try, we all try.

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story.

Whenever I think about movies, I always look at that art process as having the best of a lot of worlds. Because if you watch a great film, you have a musical element to it, not just on the scoring, but in the way that the shots are edited - that has music and rhythm and time.

There's just some magic in truth and honesty and openness.
