Sometimes when a movie is really alive you can see that they were just making decisions on the spot. They weren't bound to anything, they were working with ideas that the actors and situations presented.

If you want to be treated like adults then start acting like them.

It's great when you can just focus your whole attention on the music and hear all of the decisions and choices that were made.

The thing is, I really can't relate to anyone my own age. Not in a superior way - an inferior way, if anything. Socially, I have no idea what my friends are talking about. I don't listen to any new music. I feel very secluded.

Normally what I do is I'll record something that I really like which will be part of a song or an idea. I kind of just record things and then I'm done with them. It takes discipline to actually carve out a song.

I kind of end up getting caught up in whatever the rhythm of the movie is and how open the director is to changing things in the moment or finding it in rehearsal.
