I worry about technical details - did I mix the cello half a decibel too high? Things like that.

I've been able to have broad kind of education and all sorts of different music and a lot of kind of films and also different styles and genres. And so, all of these things have influenced me along the way and I take a little bit from everything I do. I've been lucky to work with a lot of great people and learn from them.

I like taking my leads from what I see rather than trying to impose. I like that way of looking at things and seeing what's on screen and seeing how I can draw music out of it almost.

A lot of composers I know hate temp scores because people get attached to them.

It's a funny thing with the inspiration thing. There's always loads of music around that I absolutely love and films going back to when I started making film music in the mid-80's.

I like expansive stuff that has a lot of space in it, like some of the early Pink Floyd albums.
