Well I don't think I've scored my life exclusively to Ray Charles.

Look at Walter Huston in The Devil and Daniel Webster: It's an incredible performance.

The score is always the wonderful icing. The score tells you the emotional content of the film. What the characters don't say, the music can say.

It isn't glamorous until after the film is finished, and you are at the premiere and getting your picture on the cover of magazines.

Music has always been an important thing to me in my life and understand I've worked in the music business.

The whole concept of the devil is a metaphor on one level.

My creative partner is a writer, and he's got an executive producing credit on this film. We've made three films together and I would never underestimate the impact of a writer.
