When I Do The Music, I Make

There's A Sadness To The Human Condition That I Think Music Is Good For. It Gives A Counterpoint To The Visual Beauty, And Adds Depth To Pictures That They Wouldn't Have If The Music Wasn't There.

I've Spent My Life Hearing People Trying To Apologize For Music.

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.

Obviously, I Try To Make The Films Work For An Audience. That's The Main Point Of Making A Film, And In Retrospect, One Can See That Certain Films, Let's Say Leaving Las Vegas, Demonstrated Its Own Success.

Films Take Up So Much Time, And With Theatre, You Do Have To Plan A Period Of Time That You Can Be Free.
