Writing a simple melody can take weeks to get it right where I want it, but I do quite enjoy it.

Unless the guitar works as a color, then I don't use it, so I haven't been playing guitar too much lately.

When I finished a song that I thought was good, I thought, I don't know where that came from, so I have no idea if I can do that again. I'm talking like, a hundred and fifty songs down the line. I still feel that.

It's an important thing to have a relationship with the director, and have it be a positive one.

Well, unbeknownst to everybody, I did a movie when I was 19.

I don't mind snakes. Growing up in South Africa there were a couple a snakes around... and I'm not talking just about the government!

I'm happy to say that I have not been fired off a film. The score is usually the last thing to be done. So a lot lands on the scores shoulders. A lot of problems that seem to have nothing to do with the music gets blamed on the music , because it's relatively cheap to change, where as a reshoot etc is not. Music is often expected to help or fix bad cuts, bad acting, bad filming, bad timing, you name it.
