I'm A Huge Fan Of World Cinema,

When I Do The Music, I Make The Musicians Listen To What's Happening In The Film. That Way They Treat The Dialogue As If It Was A Singer.

It's Difficult Working With Very Rich Actors, Because Inevitably They Become A Little Spoilt, And The Managers And Agents Tend To Control Things More Than Is Healthy.

In Discussing The Process With The Actors, I Made It Clear To Them That They Could Improvise But That The Sum Total Of Their Improvisation Needed To Impart Certain Plot Points, And Schematic Material.
