Piano is very elegant. I also think it's a very truthful instrument.

You can find the whole world of a film in one instrument, or you can find a world of sound in the orchestra.

I look at the film without any music or sound. I try to grasp the story from the screenplay. I try to write to the novel or book if there is one. I try to create music that's honest and true to my heart for the story.

There are many things that have stayed consistent. But the biggest change, of course, is technology, the way it's used, the way films are shot, the format that they're shot in, and the way films, of course, are edited. It's very different than it was in the past.

I never shied away from a challenge and I love doing big, epic films. They're interesting to me just on a pure music level, just in terms of the amount of music I could create for a symphony orchestra and chorus.

When you're working on a film, it's intense and it's very all-consuming. There's not something in particular.
