Making realistic films is basically about the style.

I listen to a lot of 'Ave Maria.'

I was obsessed with 'The Twilight Zone' as a kid, and one of those things I didn't realize until I was in college was that I had been listening to Bernard Herrmann all my life.

I keep a writer's notebook and also put all my daily schedules and to-do lists in it.

When anyone tells me I can't do anything... I'm just not listening any more.

I enjoy listening to classical music and heavy metal. I play basketball and try to go diving at least once a year. I don't really have hobbies in the traditional sense... I engage in too many activities already through the actions of my characters.

I eat broccoli. I think about the plot. I pace in circles for hours, counter-clockwise, listening to music. I try to think of one detail in the scene I'm about to write that I'm really excited about writing. Until I can come up with that one detail, I pace.

I've been told the weirdest things: 'Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!' or 'I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.'

At 15, I started listening to hard rock and heavy metal, but I would say it was more hard rock because I liked Kiss, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, and eventually AC/DC.

The falsetto stuff, it must be a reaction to the black gospel singers that I really enjoy listening to.

I would love to do realistic films that are entertaining.

I been doing music since I was 15 years old. I found it intriguing, just from liking and listening to music.

In terms of my looks in 'Brothers,' it's definitely not a glamourised look. It is very realistic.

Insight into character comes from listening intently to the spoken word. The physical person, their charisma, charm and dramatic flair is more often used to persuade audiences, as they use these stealth tools of disguise and deception.

When you're 17 and a record label says, 'Hey, do pop,' you listen.

I'm into heavy duty, psychedelic, foreign music. That's what I like listening to.

Listening is harder than just acting. Listening is the hardest part.

When I was a kid I was always listening and singing along to Disney compilation CDs.

I constantly make lists and itineraries and then can't stick to any of them.

I grew up listening to loads of afrobeats; my grandad's Sierra Leonean, so that was always around. My mum loves those kind of beats, too.
