I think my music is great for film, but I don't have the opportunity, or goesche to go and pitch myself to Hollywood.

Of course the headspace for the young musician is whatever the guy who is paying you says, is right, but that's all.

Japan and Europe seem to have a little more cultural education and so the crowds have been a little more big and enthusiastic, and the places I've played seem a little more classy.

I'm not going to limit myself in ways to compose or how I should record. You just do what you can with what you've got at the moment.

I'm pretty proud of everything I've done.

I married my Japanese wife Mayumi who I'm so happy with, she's been so supportive. I live part time in Japan at her house, so I've been always very influenced by Japan. Since I guess the 70's or so. I've come to appreciate so much of their culture.

I don't think I really started to seriously compose until around that time when I was 40.
