I'd call what I do pop music but it's folky and electronic and it doesn't really sound like much else.

I was irrevocably betrothed to laughter the sound of which has always seemed to me the most civilised music in the world.

There are certain sounds that I've found work well in nearly any context. Their function is not so much musical as spatial: they define the edges of the territory of the music.

That was a time when I did love music I couldn't get enough of what was going on. Maybe it was Nirvana that brought me back. I guess it was a comfort because something that sounded so right - and non-commercial - had become so influential so immediately.

Popular music formed the soundtrack of my life.

The sound and music are 50% of the entertainment in a movie.

All that stuff about heavy metal and hard rock I don't subscribe to any of that. It's all just music. I mean the heavy metal from the Seventies sounds nothing like the stuff from the Eighties and that sounds nothing like the stuff from the Nineties. Who's to say what is and isn't a certain type of music?

Music is the soundtrack to the crappy movie that is my life.

When I listen to music these days and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine - it kinda sucks the life out of music.

I'm a big collector of vinyl - I have a record room in my house - and I've always had a huge soundtrack album collection. So what I do as I'm writing a movie is go through all those songs trying to find good songs for fights or good pieces of music to layer into the film.
