I think there is a big question in how much music a film needs - a lot of films are overloaded for my taste, so that the story can't carry its own weight.

The opportunity to use a computer is great when it is used as one component, or when someone is working on his or her own sounds and approaches. I think it actually has the same restrictions as using the piano or any other instrument in [a traditional] way.

I like to express true emotions under the cover of melancholy: It includes fulfilment and pain, which describes human existence.

I get a lot of emails where people are writing me their experiences, how they discovered my music, what they feel... they motivate me to carry on with what I am doing.

When I read a script, I am already in the movie with my music, and I can dive into a world that I haven't seen before.

I like the influence of pictures on music and the other way around.

I was bored to death and thinking more about the minibar and the after-show party than the performance.
