The flow of Guiness into the studio was inspirational as well as nutritive.
From Carter Burwell
Big Sur is at the end of the continent. It attracts really crazy people.
John Barry was my hero when I was about 13. His scores to the James Bond movies were the scores of my life back then.
A carefree quality is a whole aspect of life that I will never understand. I don't think I have ever been carefree and can't see the pleasure of it.
I think I've only done one horror movie, Psycho III. That was a walk in the park compared to a romantic comedy.
I prefer a life in which we don't take ourselves too seriously.
Hopefully each film can be given a musical voice of its own, which is not to say that the instrumentation is always unique, but that the relationship between the sound and the image is unique.
I don't find myself lobbying for projects. Filmmakers almost always come to me.
On Being John Malkovich and the cinema of the absurd, I do enjoy it. I wish there were more like it. The very fact that there can't be more like it is one of the reasons it's admirable.
Death is always around the corner, but often our society gives it inordinate help.
