I always try to make the soundtrack a good CD on its own.

When I was working on the music for this I didn't want to just use pop songs as the score - most movies do it and I've done it before.

The unexpected connections we make might not last, yet stay with us forever

I always remember my dad saying, "No one makes a remake unless they are trying to make money; there is no reason for it." It was not an honorable thing to do.

Forget the audience, make what you want to see

I like to write things to be personal, so I just put what I'm thinking about at the time.

Generally I just pick music that I like. That's the part I really enjoy: When I get permission for the songs I want and put them into the scenes. It's always hard when you're doing a low-budget film, so it's great when you can get all the music you want to get.
