Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.

There are movies that change the whole way in which films are made, like Klute, where Gordon Willis’s photography on the film is so textured, and, they said, too dark.

You don't make up for your sins in church. You do it in the streets. You do it at home. The rest is bullshit and you know it.

Film in the 20th century, it's the American art form, like jazz.

Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.

And so you try your best. Sometimes you go in with one thing, with one desire and come out with something else. In the case of 'The Aviator' it was to create a Hollywood spectacle, but by about the second or third week of shooting you just want to literally survive it. Because don't forget, I also go through the editing process too, and when the film is released I have to talk about it. So, I take all of that very seriously.

Music and film are inseparable. They always have been and always will be.
