I try to talk as little as possible, unless I see something that I might disagree with.

A lot of modern film scoring is about a lack of themes, so I try to find ways of using music that doesn't necessarily have thematic material in it to make the points when there is thematic material even stronger. It's cool to be able to combine old and new.

That's what I love about film scoring. Every situation is new. Every show is a new adventure.

One important thing, just being a film composer in general, is to have a great respect for the art that you're working on - a great respect for the film and a great respect for the filmmakers.

When a musician is conveying that fresh feeling, that's what appeals to me, even more so than the style.

I try not to make any boundaries. I try to let all art influence me.
