When I was a kid, I would go to the record store, where there was a bin of things they didn't know quite how to classify. Those were my choices. That's where you would find Captain Beefheart or an early electronic album.

I've worked with a lot of directors, some of them you wouldn't really attach the word 'artist' to their name.

Rebellion is obsolete - change things from the inside working out.

Personally Im very happy to be behind the scenes. I like collaboration, I like working with directors.

To Kill a Mockingbird' represents Hollywood at its very finest, when a popular film could truly contain a message. It has one of the most moving scores of all time.

The stories I write are often literal to events that have happened or observations that I've made, and sometimes they're fantastical.

This is the fourth movie that I've done with this set of director-writers and I've learned to trust them at this point, because actually I started on Lego before they did.
