I love that feeling of when it's touching and it makes you happy but there's a melancholy or bittersweet glaze to it.

My dad told me, 'Your movie's never as good as the dailies and never as bad as the rough cut.

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.

A lot of young filmmakers bring their movies to my dad because he always gives lots of good editing ideas and notes. He'd be a good film professor.

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

Everyone in my family is in the film business; I knew I wanted to be creative and it was important in my family to be artistic.

I think anything you do that's different, that doesn't take the typical approach, invites differing opinions.
