There's this whole other element of film scoring, which is the social and psychological side of how you're dealing with people... And that is not always in sync with what's right for the picture.

I don't really have a preferred genre. It's more up to the individual project itself and if I feel compelled by it.

I had come from an orchestral background, but I didn't really have any orchestral pieces for film.

I am inspired just by the way a scene can be interpreted by the actors. It can make a huge difference on the type of music that you write. It's best for me if I don't work at all on a project until the movie is shot and I have some sort of edit in front of me.

Robert Townson at Varese is a huge fan of film music and has really done a lot to educate audiences about film music and scores.

One of the major aspects of film composing is that it's not so much a musical thing as it is communicating your ideas with the director, who often does not come from a musical background.

The thing that struck me most after first viewing 'The Sessions' was the charm of Mark O'Brien and the intimacy that the director, Ben Lewin, manages to capture perfectly on screen. I did not feel forced or cajoled in any way into believing the story.

When I think of Morricone, more than his using a specific instrument or a specific sound, it's his way of approaching music that sticks out.

I think the only thing that I really haven't done much in, and I haven't felt too attracted to, is romantic comedies.
