I really love writing themes and melody.

One of the things I try to be very careful of is not taking a movie when I know I have no inspiration left.

I will be doing a film called Whispers, for Disney. It's about elephants, and doesn't have any people in it. It will be a live action film - I don't know how much I can say about it, since I still don't know too much about it.

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

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

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.

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!
