I wake up around noon, light a cigarette, get a cup of coffee, sit in the bathtub for an hour and daydream, and I usually come up with some ideas... It's a very irresponsible life. The only decisions I make are about the notes I'm writing.

Hollywood allows you to go and express yourself.

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.

Why get up in the morning unless you’re going to have an adventure?

If I play you a piece of music, that's when you can truly look inside me.

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

I've never had a real job in my life. I didn't learn anything, I was terrible at school. It was just this thing. Music was all I wanted to do.
