I love scoring. Putting music to picture is a rewarding challenge and one that relies on interpretation of emotion - as in, what is the pivotal feeling in a scene and which character's point of view is driving it at any given moment?

When you love what you do, you're happy just doing it.

It’s nice to be liked, but it’s better by far to get paid.

Now, in music, it seems more like the popular crowd suppresses anyone who is different.

I wear clothes that most people in the Midwest would probably deem inappropriate at my age. And I rock a bikini all summer long. I know that it's not normal, but I just don't care. I live once.

I think good art happens on that edge between comfortable and in a lot of pain, you know what I mean?

All parents gush about what it's like to be a parent. I love it.
