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.

It's a bad religion to be in love with someone who could never love you.

It's about the stories. If I write 14 stories that I love, then the next step is to get the environment of music around it to best envelop the story and all kinds of sonic goodness.

It's not always easy to be transparent about your emotions and sometimes the music can get heavy.

Smile, it's easier than explaning why you're sad

Don't feel sad over someone who gave up on you, feel sorry for them because they gave up on someone who would have never given up on them.

Those who are heartless, once cared too much.
