It's so easy to get caught up in your own self-doubt when you're writing. It can be so easy to tell yourself, "Who am I kidding?"

I find being on set very invigorating. I never have a problem with that component of it, no matter the situation.

I could not work for a long time. I don't spend very much money. Basically I spend money on food and DVDs.

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.

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.

Baseball players tend to have something like 20 good years in them and then around their mid-thirties they aren't in the same shape as the young guys in the league and kind of aren't worth as much. Then they retire before 40. And they are left floating adrift in the middle of the ocean.

I worry more about something that isn't working rather than something that feels really good. You forget about the good stuff.
