It's great working with directors and with somebody else's vision.

Composing is just another exciting thing. It's as exciting as being in a band. It's kind of like joining a new band for three months.

I think if you're able to make the music you want and you can do it in the right kind of context, you don't have to be a circus ringleader to be successful.

I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago.

I'd like to keep doing film and TV, and I definitely can appreciate a good theme song. If it's memorable, that's a great thing.

I suppose listening to a double album is kind of like going to the chiropractor... It's pretty good for you but you can't force it on anyone else.

I like the challenges of doing different things. It keeps things fresh for me.
