When I was young, I used to need other people's albums and I got very involved with their music and it meant a lot to me.

I don't like being approached by people who look at me too intensely, who needed something from me that I didn't have. I don't represent anything.

I try to see interviewing as performance art, and just take it as it comes.

Composing gives me a chance to work in multiple dimensions and helps me pare down my melodies into what is essential. Learning new skills has always energized me and scoring has opened up a world of sonic possibilities.

Isn't this the best part of breakin' up? Finding someone else you can't get enough of. Someone who wants to be with you, too.

I love stretching myself musically.

I blend my green drink every morning. I also fix my son a full-on American breakfast with bacon and toast.
