The first thing I think about is music, and the last thing I think about is music. I'm like some Monk. I don't see a lot of daylight. I hang out with musicians, I hang out with directors and I just try to spend as much of my life as possible playing music.

If something happened where I couldnt write music anymore, it would kill me. Its not just a job. Its not just a hobby. Its why I get up in the morning.

I try to communicate with the musicians the way I communicate with the filmmakers. I'm not going to say to them, can we be a little bit more presto here. Hang on, this should be a bit more exciting, or I try to explain the scene to them, or I try to explain the context the notes are supposed to live in.

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

I have to give credit to Giorgio Moroder ; among the first to make us realize the importance of music in film.

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

As the seconds of our lives are ticking away, you have to realize that life needs to be an adventure.
