Sometimes I think I spend my whole life trying to figure out where I fit in.

I think theres something strangely musical about noise.

I've got a canvas, I've got a scene, let’s fill that with sound.

I write most of my songs when I'm in a bad mood.

I hated school . . . I freaking hated it. The fact is that it revolved around something you didn't have access to. If you weren't on the football team, if you were in the band, you were a leper. When people say those were the best years of our lives, I want to scream.

I think, fundamentally, music is something inherently people love and need and relate to, and a lot of what's out right now feels like McDonalds. It's quick-fix. You kind of have a stomachache afterwards.

For each film, you try to create a whole world sonically, having a sense of identity through instruments used, or recording techniques.
