I prefer to be reclusive and private about my creation and then, once I'm finished, present it to people.

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?

Music is sound. It's a wave. It's going out and coming back, and it's bouncing off.

The license said you had to stick around until I was dead, but if you're tired of looking at my face I guess I already am.

The other day I was reading a blog and I linked over to Streisand's Web site, and it was amazing politically. She's so insightful and incisive. And she also says whatever she wants.

I don't know why it surprises people that I surprise them.

I prance around and dance by myself to hip-hop songs in the mirror.
