I always had a dream about trying to make a movie that had no dialogue in it, that was just music and pictures. I still haven't done it yet, but I tried to get close in the beginning.

You know, I'm really not that competent at describing things musically.

I'll rebel against powers and principalities, all the time. Always, I will.

I am always looking for that nuance, that moment of truth, and you can't really do that fast.

My writing has a lot to do with who I am, and what my life is like, and my relationships to people.

There’s a lot for screenwriters to steal from songwriters, in terms of getting to the point.

How do I respond to criticism? Critically. I listen to all criticism critically.
