I think I've done more recording in the past 10 years than most people, but it's all been directed toward film composing and soundtracks. Just the same, it's been great.

It's very difficult sometimes having bands, you know, when all the members aren't on the same page.

I don't think a guy that really has no understanding about people, or has no interest in understanding people would make a good film composer.

There are few words in the music business or in art that I'll say people or some writers are overgenerous with words like 'legend' or 'genius', 'he's a pioneer' and all of that.

I think my favorite for music and spirit is Ray Gomez.

Bass players are always the intellectual kind, but nobody knows it.

You can actually go to school and college to learn how to play and get technical with the electric bass.
