All music is based in one way or the other, or influenced through the ages, on technology.

As opposed to being on the Internet, there's something really nice about reading a book or talking to authors.

A good score should have a point of view all of its own. It should transcend all that has gone before, stand on its own two feet and still serve the movie. A great soundtrack is all about communicating with the audience, but we all try to bring something extra to the movie that is not entirely evident on screen.

Trust me, if you're working on a $70 million movie and you're the last guy, you feel all that weight on your shoulders.

What are you going to do when you are not saving the world.

Inspired music arises from an inspired movie which arises from an inspired script.

You can only make a good noise on the guitar if you're committed. Little careful noise doesn't work. You have to be bold.
