I like to read and dream and create music that is based on the imagery of text. If you have the combination of a great book and a great filmmaker, what could be better for the composer?

When you're working on film music, you're only working on 20, 30-minute sections at a time.

Theater and film are essentially the same - just different kinds of storytelling.

'Hugo' is made in the classical style of the 1940s.

You can find the whole world of a film in one instrument, or you can find a world of sound in the orchestra.

'Saturday Night Live' was actually started with a show that Lorne Michaels and I did at a summer camp called Timberlane in Ontario when we were 14 and 15. We would do an improvisational show with music, comedy and acting.

I think 'Two Towers' is a completely distinct film from 'Fellowship of the Ring' or 'Return of the King.' I think that you can watch them as a group and watch how the story evolves, but I think each one was made in its own entirety, and each one has its own palate of sound and music and color and characterization.
