Connection is what one is after in probably most media, but certainly in film, which is an immersive medium.

Performing written music, even when I've written it, is not very interesting to me.

In mainstream romantic comedies, I'm usually tearing my hair out. It's just a devastatingly difficult genre for me.

John Barry was my hero when I was about 13. His scores to the James Bond movies were the scores of my life back then.

I have always loved Scottish music - all sorts of Celtic, Gaelic music.

I don't find myself lobbying for projects. Filmmakers almost always come to me.

All my music is very simple in that melody is usually clearly stated.

A carefree quality is a whole aspect of life that I will never understand. I don't think I have ever been carefree and can't see the pleasure of it.

On Being John Malkovich and the cinema of the absurd, I do enjoy it. I wish there were more like it. The very fact that there can't be more like it is one of the reasons it's admirable.
